NORFOLK — Norfolk International Airport (ORF) announced this week JetBlue will begin seasonal service to Boston from Norfolk starting this Spring.
“I’m regularly asked when we’ll be adding JetBlue to Norfolk International Airport, which speaks volumes about the airline’s strong reputation and customer loyalty,” said Mark Perryman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Norfolk Airport Authority.
“I’m excited to soon become a ‘Blue City’ and am confident this long-awaited partnership will be well-received by travelers here, as well as among New Englanders seeking to spend time in Coastal Virginia and the Outer Banks beginning later this year,” Perryman added.
The airline will become the ninth commercial carrier at ORF when it commences daily seasonal service to Boston Logan International (BOS) Airport on April 30, according to officials.
“We’re excited to bring JetBlue’s award-winning service to Norfolk this summer, providing convenient access to Boston, one of our key focus cities,” said David Jehn, vice president of network planning and airline partnerships at JetBlue. “From Boston, travelers can connect to JetBlue’s extensive network, offering a variety of destinations and our signature combination of low fares and great service. We’re equally excited to welcome travelers to Norfolk, giving them the opportunity to explore all that this vibrant region has to offer.”
JetBlue will run one daily nonstop roundtrip between ORF and BOS from April 30 through Oct. 25, according to officials. Flights will leave Boston at 3:30 p.m. to arrive in Norfolk at 5:05 p.m. Return flights will depart Norfolk at 6 p.m. with a scheduled 7:29 p.m. arrival at BOS.
Norfolk Mayor Kenneth Alexander celebrated the announcement of the new service.
“I am thrilled to welcome JetBlue to Norfolk International Airport, a vital gateway to our city and region. This new partnership strengthens Norfolk’s position as a hub for connectivity, economic growth, and opportunity. JetBlue’s commitment to providing exceptional service aligns with our vision for a vibrant, thriving community that attracts businesses, visitors, and residents alike. Together, we are soaring to new heights.”
The airline will use its 140-seat Airbus A220 aircraft on the route.
ORF serves as the primary commercial airport for the nearly 2 million residents of Hampton Roads, Virginia’s Eastern Shore and northwestern North Carolina. It notes it recently concluded its third consecutive year of record annual traffic with nearly 4.9 million passengers in 2024 and is now building additional gates and an international arrivals facility to service its future aviation needs.
