Thursday, Jet Blue will begin offering one nonstop flight a day to and from Los Angeles out of the Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
The expansion was originally announced in February when Jet Blue officials said it will start a test to see the success and popularity of the flights.
United States Senator Chuck Schumer says these flights will "increase travel opportunities for Buffalonians, and boost business travel."
