A discount air fare battle is beginning at Logan Airport.

JetBlue announced Thursday that starting in September it will begin daily flights from Boston to Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

Fares start at $39.

Earlier this month, Southwest Airlines announced it will launch Boston-to-Baltimore service in August, starting at $49 one-way.

Scott Laurence, JetBlue vice president of network planning, told the Boston Globe the decision had nothing to do with Southwest.

"This is part of a bigger strategy involving Boston. We want to focus on the biggest destinations of the markets that matter most to us," he said.
