JetBlue Offers Free Flights to Families of Orlando Shooting
In the aftermath of this weekend's shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, JetBlue said it will offer free seats to immediate family members and partners of victims on flights to and from Orlando. On Tuesday, Alaska Airline announced a similar initiative.
“Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones,” said JetBlue’s blog post about the program. The airline also declared its aid on Twitter, with #WeStandWithOrlando.
Alaska Airline said they "are broken-hearted by the horrific events that unfolded in Orlando."
Additionally, JetBlue announced a fee waiver for customers traveling to or from the Orlando area who want to make last-minute changes. The company also plans to make a charitable contribution to support the victims and their families, and Alaska Airlines has already specified that they will pledge $25,000 to the OneOrlando Fund.
