JetBlue Hiring Five Thousand Workers Out Of New York

Jet Blue out of JFK Airport in Queens is hiring thousands of workers.

Jet Blue will have five thousand open positions this year from airport operations jobs, to inflight and other support center roles. Queens Borough President Donovan Richards says this is huge for Queens recovering from the coronavirus pandemic

“We’re not just simply building back but that we are building back better and these jobs connecting you with good paying jobs, meaningful jobs will ensure that our city runs but also make sure you can put some food on your table.”

Jet Blue is increasing the number of daily flights out of New York starting this summer. The airline is also creating a partnership with Mayor Adams’ Administration that will help build a pipeline for careers with Jet Blue.
