JetBlue has landed in Gatwick as it looks to expand its transatlantic presence with a new nonstop service between New York and London.

JetBlue entered the transatlantic market market last year, flying to Heathrow and Gatwick

Flights will operate on the carrier’s new Airbus A321 Long Range aircraft between JFK airport and Gatwick four times a-week in October and then daily from November.

The first customer-carrying service landed at around 8am on Thursday (30 September).

In August, the carrier touched down at Heathrow, marking the start of JetBlue’s first-ever transatlantic service.

It is now the only airline flying nonstop between the US and Gatwick and will operate from the airport’s north terminal.
