(Feb. 24, 2005) -- LB Airport's largest commercial carrier tenant, JetBlue Airways, has announced it will begin flights from Burbank (Bob Hope) airport...the first and only non-stop coast to coast flights from the Hollywood-adjacent SFV facility.

With the new flights, JetBlue will offer more daily non-stop flights from NYC to CA than any other airline.

Beginning May 24, JetBlue plans three daily nonstop flights between Burbank and NYC's JFK airport with a fourth starting July 15.

"Burbank has been waiting for nonstop service to New York for 75 years," said David Neeleman, CEO of JetBlue Airways, adding "with up to 36 channels of DIRECTV® and FOX Inflight Premium Entertainment, our customers will enjoy a real Hollywood experience from the comfort of their leather seats."

JetBlue also operates from Ontario airport.
