Exclusive: JetBlue Unit Rebrands to Paisly on the Cusp of United.com Partnership Changes
The United-JetBlue alliance is just that, and not an acquisition. Still, as with such transitions, it brings substantial changes to United.com's non-air partnership roster.
JetBlue Travel Products, which offers non-air products like hotels, packages and cars to the airline's customers, has dropped the airline's name. Now known as Paisly LLC, it's poised to power these sales on United.com and its mobile app under the two airlines' new Blue Sky agreement.
"It's the first time we've had a subsidiary which doesn't have JetBlue in the name," Paisly President Jamie Perry told Skift in an exclusive interview.
Pending regulatory approval of the new alliance between United and JetBlue, Paisly is expected to start powering United's sale of hotels, packages, cars, cruises and travel insurance in the first quarter of 2026, and that will bring substantial changes to United's current supplier and tech roster.
The goal is that Paisly, which had been until now an internal tech platform for JetBlue alone, would not only provide "tech-enabled managed travel services" for JetBlue and Unit

FAA caps flights at Newark Airport to cut delays through 2025
The Federal Aviation Administration finalized new air traffic restrictions at Newark Liberty International Airport, saying that arrivals and departures would be limited to 34 each per hour through Oct. 25, 2025. Arrivals and departures at EWR will be further reduced on weekends from Sept. 1 through the end of the year to accommodate airport construction. The FAA previously signaled it was planning to reduce traffic at Newark in response to weeks of delays caused by equipment outages and staffing issues that hampered the airport's capacity. "The confirmed reduced rates will maintain safety while alleviating excessive flight delays at the airport due to staffing and equipment challenges. The early completion of runway construction at the airport that added to the delays will also contribute to a more efficient operation," the FAA said in a statement. "Working with airlines and the airport, the limited arrival rate already paid dividends over the Memorial Day holiday with smooth travel into and out of Newark." United Airlines, which operates a major hub at Newark, touted the airport's on-time rate over the previous week. "Newark (EWR) is the most reliable airport in the New York City area this week," the airline said in a statement. United noted that 79% of its departures from Newark were on time between June 2 and June 5, while 88% of arrivals landed at Newark on time, and 90% of the airline's flights departing Newark arrived at their destinations on time. At a press conference announcing the early completion of a runway reconstruction project at the airport, alongside Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, United CEO Scott Kirby said that travelers in and out of Newark will be able to take advantage of great airfare deals this summer. "We did get well behind on bookings because of the perception issues around Newark recently, so that means more seats are available, which means the fares are better than they're probably going to ever be in the years to come, so now's the time to book your vacation if you want to go to Europe or you want to head across the country," he said.
