Airport leaders say jetBlue is one of the few major domestic airlines not already serving Milwaukee.

“These flights are going to provide more opportunities to connect with friends, family and business partners in the Northeast part of the United States," Milwaukee Mitchell Airport director Brian Dranzik said. "This is just more service offerings, this helps provide more direct connections to destinations and provides a better fare competition, which is always good for the traveler and for the community."

The flight schedules and launch date are expected to be announced later in 2021.
