JetBlue officially retired its Embraer E190 aircraft on Tuesday, completing the carrier’s transition to an all-Airbus fleet.

JetBlue has always been known to showcase many designs on its aircraft, but its fleet has almost always maintained a prevalence of the color blue.

JetBlue has submitted a formal proposal to the U.S. Department of Transportation to provide more Essential Air Service (EAS) flights.

Florida-based aircraft leasing company Azorra announced Thursday that it has signed a deal with JetBlue for 13 Embraer E190 aircraft.

Delivery of the longer-range narrowbody aircraft was initially slated for 2023, but has since been delayed following the airline’s 2019 order.

United and JetBlue announced Tuesday that the U.S. Department of Transportation has completed its review of their Blue Sky partnership.

JetBlue also said Mint will be available on every flight between Fort Lauderdale and Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and San Francisco this winter.

Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said he’s concerned that a proposed partnership between United and JetBlue could harm competition and eventually reduce choices for travelers in the New York City metro area.

The U.S. Supreme Court will not revisit the federal ruling that blocked a partnership between American Airlines and JetBlue.

The conclusion of the partnership follows Hawaiian’s ongoing integration into the Alaska Air Group and loyalty program as part of the planned merger.
