Geraghty referred to both setbacks in her conversation with publicist Geri Denterlein, on stage at the chamber meeting.
“We continue to grow Boston again and again, … reestablishing our presence here,” Geraghty said. “Our transactions that we did not pass muster with the Department of Justice, they set us back a bit in terms of our growth plans for Boston. But you know, we’re very, very focused on returning to our path, pre-COVID, with Boston.”

JetBlue’s daily departures out of Logan are close to where they were in 2019, per numbers provided by the company. That year, JetBlue had an average of 150 daily departures out of Boston, and peaked at just over 170. This month, JetBlue is averaging 146.

But the passenger count, as provided by the Massachusetts Port Authority, has not recovered as quickly. While Logan’s overall passenger traffic recently passedpre-pandemic levels, JetBlue’s is still lagging. In January, JetBlue’s passenger count in Boston cleared 777,000, up from 721,000 a year earlier, but a far cry from the 903,000 reported in January 2020. Local passenger numbers at Delta, JetBlue’s biggest rival at Logan, by comparison rose from 603,000 in January 2020 to 703,000 in January 2024, and more than 736,000 in January of this year.
And when it come to the question of who is Logan’s busiest carrier,JetBlue has a bigger market share in the winter, mainly because of its seasonal Caribbean flights, but Delta takes the lead in the summer months, per a Massport spokesperson, and generally has the edge year-round now.
Geraghty pointed to strong growth ahead in Boston, including a 15 percent increase year-over-year in seats sold for the April-June quarter. She said she knows the airline needs to improve its on-time performance. Geraghty and Denterlein also discussed a few of JetBlue’s new Logan routes. JetBlue in January announced it will have 77 nonstop destinations from Boston, more than Delta (or any other airline), once a bevy of summer seasonal routes are included.

New European destinations include Madrid and Edinburgh (launching in May), and flights will start to Halifax, Nova Scotia, in June. JetBlue is also working on a new 11,000-square-foot lounge at Terminal C.
To bolster her local cred, Geraghty also referred to her top lieutenant, JetBlue president Marty St. George, a South Boston resident. She recruited St. George back to JetBlue around the time she was promoted to the CEO’s role in early 2024.
“My president, sometimes we need an interpreter for him,” she said, “he’s so Boston.”

Investigators identified Tyler Brown of Boston as the man who allegedly opened fire on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, leaving two victims with life-threatening injuries.
Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said Brown fired 50 to 60 shots on the busy road shortly after 1 p.m. Monday.
Two male victims were hit in vehicles, Ryan said. They are in critical condition and fighting for their lives.
A Massachusetts State Police trooper and a civilian with a license to carry a firearm went toward the gunman and fired their weapons at him. Officers treated Brown at the scene, and he was brought to a Boston hospital, where he is in intensive care, according to the district attorney.

This video shared with NBC10 Boston appears to show a man opening fire at cars on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Monday, May 11, 2026.
Authorities have, so far, shared limited information about the suspect.
“Mr. Brown is from Boston, and apparently was in the process of moving here. We understand that Mr. Brown was under the supervision of either the Massachusetts Probation Department or Department of Parole,” Ryan said.
She did not elaborate on why Brown may have been on probation or parole.
“We will address Mr. Brown’s criminal record, if any, at the arraignment,” she said.

Ryan added that she did not know enough about Brown’s condition to say whether he would be arraigned in court or in a hospital bed. The timing was also not clear.
He will face two counts of armed assault with intent to murder and firearms charges, and “a variety of other charges as we unfold what took place, exactly, and we have a chance to speak to the many, many people who were out there,” Ryan said.
An inbound stretch of Storrow Drive and Soldiers Field Road will be closed each night through August for tunnel repairs, officials announced.
Starting Monday, the closures will begin at 8 p.m. and last until 5 a.m., state officials said.
Road closures begin at North Harvard Street in Allston and stretch along the Charles River Esplanade to Mugar Way in Boston, near the Hatch Memorial Shell, officials said.
Traffic will be detoured into Cambridge over the Anderson Bridge, along Memorial Drive, and then be routed into Boston over the Longfellow Bridge.

The closures will allow ongoing repairs to the Storrow Drive Tunnel in the Back Bay.The work is the first phase of a two-stage project to extend the lifespan of the tunnel, which carries roughly 50,000 drivers to and from downtown Boston daily.
The outbound portion of the tunnel and accompanying roadways will not be affected.
State transportation officials said changes to the work schedule will be made when necessary to minimize impacts during major local events at TD Garden, Fenway Park, or during the FIFA World Cup and 250th anniversary celebrations scheduled for this summer.
Additional changes may be made without notice due to weather.
Transportation officials have not specified when the closures will end.
