JetBlue and Qatar Airways to Codeshare at JFK and Dulles

JetBlue Airways and Qatar Airways have signed a one-way codeshare agreement to connect the carriers’ networks via New York JFK and Washington Dulles International Airport, subject to receipt of government approval.

The two airlines have been interline partners since 2011, enabling customers to travel on a single combined ticket for Qatar Airways and JetBlue Airways-operated flights and have access to other services including one-stop check-in and baggage transfer.

By 2013, Qatar Airways had ordered 25 Boeing 777-300ERs

Assuming the two airlines receive government approval for their codeshare agreement, tickets featuring a Qatar Airways flight number will soon be available for sale for JetBlue-operated connections in 26 markets between New York JFK and Washington Dulles International Airport.

Among the U.S markets included in the on-eway codeshare agreement are Buffalo, New York (BUF); Charlotte, North Carolina (CLT); Denver, Colorado (DEN); Fort Lauderdale, Florida (FLL); Fort Myers, Florida (RSW); Jacksonville, Florida (JAX); Long Beach, California (LGB); New Orleans, Louisiana (MSY); Palm Beach, Florida, (PBI); Phoenix, Arizona (PHX); Portland, Oregon (PDX); Salt Lake City, Utah (SLC); and Syracuse, New York (SYR).
