Norfolk airport adding JetBlue service in April

JetBlue will start service from Norfolk International Airport on April 30, offering seasonal daily nonstop flights to Boston’s Logan Airport, Norfolk airport officials announced Wednesday.

The airline will be the ninth commercial carrier at Norfolk’s airport, and its 140-seat Airbus A220 aircraft will depart Norfolk at 6 p.m., arriving at 7:29 p.m. in Boston daily between April 30 and Oct. 25. Returning flights will leave Boston at 3:30 p.m. and arrive in Norfolk at 5:05 p.m.

“I’m regularly asked when we’ll be adding JetBlue to Norfolk International Airport, which speaks volumes about the airline’s strong reputation and customer loyalty,” Norfolk Airport Authority President and CEO Mark Perryman said in a statement. “I’m excited to soon become a ‘Blue City’ and am confident this long-awaited partnership will be well-received by travelers here, as well as among New Englanders seeking to spend time in coastal Virginia and the Outer Banks beginning later this year.”

JetBlue plans to expand its routes to and from Boston this year, including the addition of daily seasonal service to Wilmington, North Carolina; Islip, New York, and Norfolk starting April 30.

Norfolk International Airport announced Monday that it recorded a third consecutive year of record-breaking passenger traffic last year, with 4.86 million passengers in 2024, up from 4.55 million in 2023. Allegiant, American, Breeze, Delta, Frontier, Southwest, Spirit and United currently offer service from the airport.
