"Examining American's Transatlantic Operation at JFK and JetBlue's Stand Down: A Weekly Review"

American Airlines' transatlantic operation at JFK Airport in New York City, bolstered by its partnership with JetBlue through the Northeast Alliance (NEA), has faced challenges in filling seats during the winter season. Data from January to March 2023 shows that around 6 percent of passengers flying on American's transatlantic flights had at least one connecting segment on JetBlue, with varying percentages across different destinations. The article suggests that without the JetBlue feed, it may become harder for American to fill seats, potentially leading to the discontinuation of some long-haul flights as the connecting feed dwindles.
