JetBlue flights officially take off from Norfolk International Airport
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — A new air service has taken off at Norfolk International Airport, as the airline company JetBlue had its inaugural flight into Norfolk from Boston Wednesday. Passengers from Boston were welcomed to the Mermaid City with cheers, gifts and music. 'I'm really excited to have a direct flight that's an airline that I like to take frequently and get points on and stuff,' said passenger Jessica Estariz. 'This is the first time I've done one of these, and it was cool to see, like they had the flags waving when we pulled in and done all of the treats and things really neat.' The 'Blue Tickets to Paradise' plane touched down in Hampton Roads just after 5 p.m. Officials with the airport, JetBlue, the city and the state were there to welcome Norfolk's ninth airline carrier. 'We really appreciate JetBlue's investment and involvement in Norfolk and the Commonwealth, and we hope this new route proves to be a great success,' said Virginia Secretary of Transportation W. Sheppard Miller III. Right now, this route is only to and from Boston. But Norfolk Airport Authority President Mark Perryman hopes it's only the beginning. 'We hope that this is just the tip of the iceberg with JetBlue and that we will be successful with the Boston route, which will lead to New York, which will lead to more and more routes with JetBlue,' Perryman said. '[Flying] through Boston, we can now get to get to Europe in a way that we didn't, and probably at a much more affordable price in which we appreciate as well.' JetBlue has been looking into where there's demand, and the Norfolk market fits the profile. 'We know this city is a great destination,' said Daniel Shurz, JetBlue senior vice president of revenue network and enterprise planning. 'We know that the money is flowing in this direction. Don't worry. We know that there's going to bring lots of customers from Boston to experience the Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads area.' In honor of the launch, there's a sale for one-way fares starting at $49. 'I'm excited to be home and glad that this is happening over the summer,' Estariz said, 'so it'll make trips to visit the beach really easy.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
