JetBlue Airways Corp. said on Monday it would add 5,000 jobs in all sections of its operations in New York this year, as U.S. carriers ramp up their hiring plans amid a rebound in travel.

In January, American Airlines Group Inc. said it planned to hire another 18,000 employees this year after adding 16,000 new team members last year.
