NEW YORK, NY, Apr 20, 2015 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — JetBlue Airways JBLU, +1.33% New York’s Hometown Airline(TM), today announced a partnership with Manhattan Portage, a brand known for pioneering and manufacturing the original New York City bicycle messenger bags. The environmentally-conscious airline partnered with Manhattan Portage to launch a fashion-forward, recycled bag collection perfect for those on the go and those wanting to carry a piece of the airline’s history. This limited edition unisex “JetBlue Uniform Bag collection” will be available starting on April 22 (Earth Day) online at http://www.manhattanportage.com/catalog/JetBlue.php and Manhattan Portage stores.
Last year, JetBlue introduced new uniforms across the airline for the first time in its history. At the same time, the airline worked to save old, never worn pieces from landfill. As part of JetBlue’s uniform recycling program overstocked uniforms were put to use in a smart way.
