JetBlue Airways is redrawing its route network — and there is some good news for Europe-bound flyers.
JetBlue announced plans to launch two new transatlantic flights from Boston to Edinburgh and Madrid in May 2025. It will be the airline's first flight to Spain — bringing its total European destinations to five.
The struggling carrier will compete with just one airline to Madrid: Spanish flag carrier Iberia. Both will fly an Airbus A321neo family jet on the route, meaning travelers can expect a smaller plane across the Atlantic.
The new routes are part of a larger restructuring plan to bolster revenue. JetBlue has not turned a profit since 2019, largely due to high costs and failed deals with American Airlines and Spirit Airlines that hampered its expansion.
The airline announced over 50 route cuts in 2024 and ended service to 15 underperforming airports. It's now refocusing on the Northeast US and Florida, with additional flights to Europe and the Caribbean.
It's also deploying high-dollar Mint-business-class equipped planes to more high-demand markets, including the new Spain route.
Here's how JetBlue and Iberia's business and coach cabins compare on the seven-hour trek to Madrid.

The Best Time to Visit Machu Picchu—And How Many Days to Stay There
Forget what you know about peak season; Peru's most famous site is changing—and with it, the best time to visit Machu Picchu. Hidden from Spanish conquistadors for centuries and abandoned to the elements, it remained the stuff of local legend until American senator and explorer Hiram Bingham’s fateful 1911 expedition. Today, this citadel in the clouds faces a different kind of conquest: nearly a million people each year are treading sacred ground at this New Wonder of the World.
