- Blue Sky will grant United space for seven daily round-trip flights at JFK and allow both airlines to sell tickets on each other's websites with shared loyalty benefits.
- United CEO Scott Kirby called the collaboration a way to offer MileagePlus members new options and added value, while JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty described it as a bold step forward for the industry.
- If approved, the deal will improve United’s presence in New York and expand options and benefits for both airlines’ frequent flyers, but operations will remain independently managed.
