JetBlue Claims Discrimination in Unsuccessful Effort to Fly to Amsterdam

JetBlue Airways alleges that the Netherlands has violated the terms of the open-skies agreement between the U.S. and European Union after repeatedly denying the airline's requests to serve Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.

Under the agreement, airlines can operate an unlimited number of flights between the U.S. and EU as long as they can secure the necessary airport landing and takeoff rights — known as "slots" — on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean
