“The confronted Global Global completely complements the Jetblue’s East Coast Leisure, and greatly expands the options and benefits for Trueblue members, regardless of where they travel in the world,” Jetblue, Jetblue’s CEO, said in a statement on Thursday.
“We are always looking for ways to grant our number of kilometers more value and benefits, and this cooperation gives them new and unique ways to use miles obtained hard -scored and find options to suit their schedule,” Kirby said.
Airlines remain independent
Jetblue and UNITED says they will continue to manage their networks independently, including launching new roads, frequencies and promotional shows.

The new arrangement is scheduled to start this fall. Companies are still sorting some technical problems that will allow deployment to book United flights via Jetblue, and vice versa.
