American is adding 6 new routes from New York as part of its alliance with JetBlue — see the full list

• American Airlines is adding six new routes from New York City this year.
• An airline spokesperson told Insider that the expansion is part of its Northeast Alliance with JetBlue.

American Airlines is expanding its domestic route map as part of its powerful Northeast Alliance with JetBlue Airways.

The Fort Worth-based airline confirmed to Insider on Friday that it will begin six new routes this year from New York City, two that will begin in June and four that will begin in November. The announcement includes service from New York's LaGuardia and JFK airports.

A spokesperson explained that the expansion is part of the carrier's partnership with JetBlue, which was announced in July 2020.

The initiative has helped both airlines bolster their networks out of Boston and New York via hundreds of codeshares, with American passengers having more domestic options via JetBlue, and JetBlue customers being able to book international destinations on American.

In November, the alliance pledged to offer lie-flat seats on all transcontinental routes to lure business travelers, which includes JetBlue's Mint product and American's Flagship First. Moreover, the pair has strategically scheduled flights out of New York and Boston this year to give more options to travelers.

This includes making JetBlue the sole operator between Boston and LaGuardia, and re-timing high-frequency flights, like Boston to Washington, DC, according to American.

Despite the alliance's strong start, competitor airlines and the US government are concerned about the duo's strategy. In September 2021, the US Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit, saying the controversial partnership could negatively impact customers.

American and JetBlue are pushing forward with their strategy. Take a look at the six new routes starting this year.
