JetBlue Set to Launch New Nonstop Service Between New York and Cleveland

Key Terms

nonstop service technical

A nonstop service is a transportation offering—most commonly a flight or train—that travels directly between two points without intermediate stops or layovers. For investors, nonstop routes can signal stronger demand, higher yield per trip, simpler operations and faster turnaround, similar to a direct express bus that saves time and reduces handling costs, which can improve revenue per seat and lower running expenses relative to multi-stop services.

To celebrate the new route, fares available as low as $49
