American Airlines Group Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corp. on Thursday announced an alliance that the carriers said would speed their recovery from the pandemic-driven travel downturn by boosting their position in large Northeast markets. The two airlines want to market each other’s flights and link loyalty programs to improve their competitiveness at the three New York area airports and in Boston. The move comes even as the recovery in leisure flying is stalling because of rising Covid-19 cases and business bookings remain dormant.
