Cape Cod is bracing for an even bigger wave of New Yorkers this year now that JetBlue has announced new daily direct seasonal flights between Hyannis and John F. Kennedy International Airport.
"In summer, New York's our primary market," Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce CEO Wendy Northcross said. "They really like Cape Cod, and they are really willing to jump in the car for five hours to be here. If they can get on an airplane and be here in (56) minutes ... we think that's amazingly important."
JetBlue, which will be Barnstable Municipal Airport's first major carrier, will run the flights on 100-passenger E190s from June 26 to Sept. 9, with one daily flight each way.
It's the airport's first service to a major New York airport since Colgan Air ended its longtime seasonal US Airways Express flights to LaGuardia in 2009. JetBlue partner Cape Air started seasonal flights between Hyannis and White Plains, N.Y., last year and will continue the service.
"For now, (JetBlue is) looking at seasonal to see how the market works out," assistant Barnstable airport manager Frank Sanchez said. "They didn't make a promise, but they want to make it more than seasonal the following year."
The airport has hired a consultant to help attract other commercial airlines, and there have been talks with Colorado's Allegiant and Toronto's Porter Airlines about Hyannis service, according to Northcross.
"The more airlines we can get to Hyannis, the better," said Paul Zuest, managing director of the Chatham Bars Inn. "Our business is New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and the Boston area. That's our bread and butter."
