(Reuters) -JetBlue and United Airlines have cleared the U.S. Department of Transportation's review of their planned partnership which allows them to proceed with the implementation, the companies said on Tuesday.

JetBlue had been seeking partnerships after a federal judge blocked its alliance with American Airlines in 2023.

In May, JetBlue and United unveiled a partnership, dubbed "Blue Sky", that would allow travelers to book flights on both carriers' websites, while interchangeably earning and using points in their frequent flyer programs.

Under the agreement, JetBlue would also provide United access to slots at the congested JFK International Airport at New York for up to seven daily round-trip flights, set to begin in 2027.
