Seeking to capitalize on its success of non-stop flights to the East Coast, low-fare air carrier JetBlue is adding another flight out of Bob Hope Airport in Burbank. The fifth daily flight to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City begins May 5. The airline added the new flight because of the success and demand of its existing non-stops to New York City, Bryan Baldwin, a spokesman for the airline said. The airline began daily service out of Burbank last May with three flights, and a fourth being added in July. “We get a unique [passenger] mix flying out of Burbank,” Baldwin said. “Because we are close to areas with companies in the entertainment industry we do get a lot of people flying on business.” In 2005, JetBlue served 227,000 passengers on its Burbank-to-New York City flights.
