On Monday (May 11, 2026), JetBlue announced the launch of their new daily summer-seasonal service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Milano Malpensa Airport (MXP), marking the airline’s first-ever service to Italy.

In Monday’s announcement, JetBlue’s President, Marty St. George, said,
“Launching service to Milan marks an exciting milestone for JetBlue and our continued growth in Boston.

All of it is built around exceptional service, thoughtful design and everyday value.”
Also commenting on JetBlue’s new Milan service, SEAM Milan Airports’ Head of Aviation Business Development, Aldo Schmid, said,
