NEW YORK-BASED carrier JetBlue Airways has secured slots at two London airports ahead of the much-anticipated launch of transatlantic services later this year.

It plans to make its debut during the third quarter of 2021, operating from New York/JFK and Boston/Logan to the UK capital using Airbus A321LRs.
