PITTSBURGH — JetBlue Airways will be adding a flight between Pittsburgh and New York beginning in April.

The once daily flight between Pittsburgh International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens will begin April 30 and be year-round, the airline announced Wednesday. The flight will leave Pittsburgh at 7 a.m. and arrive at 8:30 a.m., and a flight will leave JFK for Pittsburgh at 10:15 p.m. and arrive around midnight. This flight will be using an Airbus A220-300 aircraft with seating for 140 passengers.

JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) already connects Pittsburgh and Boston, and has served Florida cities from Pittsburgh as well in the past. And it’s no stranger to the JFK-Pittsburgh route. It connected the two cities using Embraer 190 aircraft from June 2006 until February 2013.
