JetBlue product development director Mariya Stoyanova said: “Rather than the typical chains, we offer customers travelling through T5 a real and delicious taste of New York from places that real New Yorkers frequent.
“Besides wanting to showcase all that our birthplace has to offer, we remember being a New York start-up and are always looking to give back to the community that’s supported us from the very beginning.
“As we add new T5 restaurants, we’re using our platform to support locally grown and up-and-coming businesses the same way the greater New York community did for us.”
