“On behalf of Asheville Regional Airport, I am thrilled to officially welcome JetBlue to western North Carolina. This is a big deal. For years, travelers have asked us when JetBlue would come to Asheville, and the buzz since they announced their intention to come has been exciting. I encourage our region’s travelers to book a trip to Boston on JetBlue this summer – I’ve already booked mine – and see for yourself what the buzz is all about.”
