New York's hometown airline JetBlue has started flights from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Glacier Park International Airport (FCA), located in Kalispell, Montana. Considered to be the main gateway to the world-renowned Glacier National Park and is surrounded by endless outdoor activities facilitated by the beautiful Rocky Mountains, numerous lakes, hiking and biking trails, and the rest of wide-open Big Sky country.
“As we identify new markets in our network, we continue to see great interest and demand for destinations where travellers can experience the scenic outdoors and wide-open spaces, especially our famed national parks,” said Andrea Lusso, vice president network planning, JetBlue. “Connecting our customers to the gateway to Glacier National Park and the rest of the Flathead Valley shows we are listening to current travel trends and responding by connecting these destinations to our focus cities.”
JetBlue will operate the route three times each week, departing New York at 18:55 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, landing Kalispell/Glacier Park International Airport at 22:22. The return flight departs at 23:19 and gets back in New York a couple of minutes before 06:00.
"We are excited to add JetBlue to the GPIA family," said Rob Ratkowski, director, Glacier Park International Airport. "As interest in the Flathead Valley continues to grow, we are pleased that JetBlue is providing increased opportunity for visitors to enjoy this beautiful area."
“JetBlue’s arrival in Kalispell at GPIA is incredibly exciting. Having direct flights to and from New York’s JFK Airport will be a game-changer for our tourism-related small businesses,” said Lorraine Clarno, president and CEO, Kalispell Chamber of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We are confident our amenities and western spirit will delight our newest visitors.”
