United and JetBlue to Allow Frequent Flyers to Earn, Use Miles on Each Other's Airline
- On May 29, 2025, United Airlines and JetBlue Airways unveiled the Blue Sky partnership, enabling frequent flyers to earn and redeem miles on flights operated by either carrier.
- JetBlue's former partnership with American Airlines was discontinued in 2023 following a legal challenge from the U.S. Department of Justice during the Biden administration, which actively opposed certain airline mergers.
- JetBlue will provide United slots for seven daily round trips at JFK Airport starting as early as 2027, despite United ceasing JFK operations in 2022 to focus on Newark.
- JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty said United’s global reach complements JetBlue’s East Coast network and Scott Kirby noted the deal offers MileagePlus members new ways to use miles.
- The Blue Sky agreement, subject to regulatory clearance, allows the two airlines to operate independently while enabling their loyalty program members to enjoy shared perks such as early boarding, complimentary checked bags, and access to preferred seating, along with ticket sales available across both carriers' platforms.
