Instead, JetBlue will partner with Blade so its passengers can take advantage of Blade’s helicopter service... “We look forward to enabling loyal JetBlue fliers to fly between the city and area airports in as little as 5 minutes,” Melissa Tomkiel, Blade’s president, added. “Given its New York City roots, JetBlue is an ideal partner as we continue to ramp up our Blade Airport service to 6 days a week and up to 13 hours per day in New York City.”
