JetBlue to double the number of flights from New York LaGuardia to Ronald Reagan Washington National beginning on June 11, 2012

JetBlue Airways (New York) today revealed plans to nearly double its service from New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), increasing flights at both airports by eight roundtrips daily to at least 16 roundtrips by this summer. The growth is made possible by the airline’s recent acquisition of slots through an FAA auction.

In addition, at LaGuardia, JetBlue will add daily service to three new Florida destinations including Fort Myers (RSW), Sarasota/Bradenton (SRQ) and Tampa (TPA) beginning on June 11, 2012. Tampa will be served twice-daily while Fort Myers and Sarasota/Bradenton will each be served with one daily flight.

In addition, JetBlue will boost service to its existing LaGuardia destinations by adding two more daily flights to Orlando, and one additional flight each to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood and West Palm Beach.

At Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport, JetBlue will boost its high-frequency service to Boston, adding three more daily roundtrips for a total of ten per day, beginning on June 11, 2012. Combined with its service between Boston and both Baltimore/Washington and Washington Dulles International Airports, JetBlue continues to offer a market-leading schedule and the most flights between Boston and the National Capital Region.

Also in June, JetBlue will add new service from Reagan National to Tampa and boost its existing service to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. Tampa will be served once daily and two additional flights will be added to both Fort Lauderdale and Orlando.

JetBlue has offered flights at LaGuardia Airport since 2004 and currently provides nonstop service to three Florida destinations – Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood, Orlando and West Palm Beach – with up to ten daily flights. JetBlue began operations at Washington National in November 2010 and operates up to nine daily flights to its focus cities in Boston, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood, and Orlando.

    I hope that you will indeed serve LAG SRQ. We need direct flights. Will these be direct flights? When can we book flights for these routes?
