JetBlue is bringing back its nonstop flights between Pittsburgh and New York City
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — JetBlue Airways has announced that it is bringing back its nonstop flights between Pittsburgh and New York City.
The airline says it will begin daily, year-round service between Pittsburgh International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport, starting on April 30, 2025.
The new flights between the two cities is part of an expansion among JetBlue’s network with travel between a number of different areas of the country and the New York area.
“With these new destinations and routes, JetBlue is introducing even more travelers to our industry-leading service, strengthening our position in New York and as the East Coast’s leisure airline,” said Daniel Shurz, JetBlue’s head of revenue, network, and enterprise planning. “We’re excited to build on our momentum, offering customers across the Northeast and beyond even more travel opportunities.”
JetBlue says there will be a flight traveling from Pittsburgh to New York City that departs daily at 7:00 a.m. and arrives at 8:30. For travelers going to Pittsburgh from New York City, the flight will leave nightly at 10:15 p.m. and arrive just before midnight.
Each flight will be on an Airbus A220-300 aircraft with seating for up to 140 passengers.
Pittsburgh International Airport Senior Vice President of Air Service and Commercial Development Bryan Deitz said that the airport is thrilled about JetBlue’s investment into Pittsburgh and that the route and flight schedule give travelers more options.
Tickets for the new flights are available already and can be purchased online.
A longtime staple near Pitt’s campus is closing its doors after more than four decades of business in Oakland.
Hemingway’s Cafe announced Thursday that it will be closing for good in May after more than 40 years along Forbes Avenue in the heart of Oakland.
“Since opening in 1983, Hemingway’s has been more than just a bar – it’s been a home, a meeting place, and an Oakland staple for generations of students, alumni, locals, and friends at the heart of the University of Pittsburgh,” the bar said.
The bar said while they are sad to be closing, they’re also grateful for the decades of memories, laughter, friendship, and traditions over the years.
“Thank you for making Hemingway’s what it has been for over four decades,” the bar said.
A final closing date for Hemingway’s hasn’t been announced.
Jack McGregor, a former state senator and the original founder of the Pittsburgh Penguins, died at the age of 91 on Tuesday. The organization announced the news in a post on social media on Thursday.
“The team extends our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and teammates during this difficult time,” a post on X said.
No other information was provided in the post, which was shared before the team’s game at PPG Paints Arena against the New Jersey Devils.
According to his biography on the United States Senate Library, McGregor served in the state Senate from 1963-1970. He represented District 44 in Allegheny County and was a Republican.
He was born in Kittanning, Armstrong County, and attended the University of Pittsburgh and Quinnipiac University before getting into politics, according to his biography. He also served in the United States Marine Corps.
In 1966, the NHL granted a franchise to Pittsburgh after McGregor formed a group of investors that included H. J. Heinz II and Art Rooney. McGregor was named president and chief executive officer by the investors and represented Pittsburgh on the NHL’s Board of Governors, according to his biography.
The team played its first game in 1967 at the Civic Arena. McGregor owned the team for four years before selling it.
There is also a scholarship in his name at Pitt. It aims to provide “financial assistance to a law student who excels academically and has committed to working in the public sector,” the university says.
