It is certainly a low blow for American, United and Delta in their domain at Hearthrow airport although Jet Blue also offers flights from Gatwick.
Over the years here I have seen double-aisle airplanes operate with these airlines and the only ones with single aisle were the B757-200 operated by American and United Airlines.. I think that since the B757-200 no longer arrive at Hearhrow it is a great opportunity for Jet Blue, Today, when entry to the United Kingdom was limited due to the very high cost of quarantines, an airline was needed that connects transatlantic flights with a more modern and medium-sized aircraft such as the Airbus A321LR for a low cost/standard business with an occupancy of more than 90%.
Smart move by Jet Blue.
It's totally a good move, JetBlue knows very well every step it takes and they do not fail.
