JetBlue and Turkish Airlines have launched an interline partnership that will connect both carriers' networks at New York John F. Kennedy and Washington DC Dulles airports.

Travellers flying on Turkish Airlines to New York and Washington DC will be able to transfer to JetBlue flights with a through ticket and baggage transfer under the interline agreement. JetBlue offers connections to various US cities, including Boston, Charlotte, Raleigh, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Pittsburgh.

Turkish flies daily non-stop between Istanbul and Washington DC and will operate thrice daily to New York this summer.

"JetBlue's new relationship with Turkish Airlines expands travel options by opening up a number of exciting new destinations in Europe, Africa, and Asia that were previously unavailable through its other partner airlines," says JetBlue.
