"New Yorkers love to summer in Nantucket, and this year we're again making it easier than ever to get there. Leave your car at home, skip the long ferry ride, and hop aboard one of our quick JetBlue flights," said Marty St. George, JetBlue's vice president of network planning. "We look forward to jetting with you to Nantucket in comfort and style."
"We are so excited to welcome JetBlue back to Nantucket," said Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tracy Bakalar. "New York is a significant market for the island. One-third of our summer visitors originate from the New York area, and now JetBlue has put the 'Faraway Land' well within their reach."
