JetBlue Airways today announced it will launch 24 new routes later this year aimed at immediately generating cash and capturing traffic on a variety of new, nonstop routes – many never flown before by the airline. Each route plays to JetBlue’s strengths in the airline’s focus cities, in Florida, in Latin American and the Caribbean or on cross-country – or transcontinental – flying. Every market has been uniquely identified as one in which JetBlue anticipates increasing demand for leisure travel. All new flights take off in November and December with seats on sale today.
New Routes
The new markets announced today maximize revenue potential across JetBlue’s existing domestic and international network by:
- Introducing all-new nonstop destinations from four JetBlue focus cities, plus expanded Mint service in Newark and Los Angeles.
- Growing JetBlue’s New York City presence in Newark with more than a half dozen new routes to the Caribbean.
- Building out the airline’s new Los Angeles focus city with expanded domestic and – for the first time in JetBlue’s history – international service at LAX.
- Offering unique, new nonstop western U.S. destinations from Fort Lauderdale not served by any other airline.
- Connecting a variety of new city pairs across the Southeast, Florida, the West Coast and the Caribbean and Latin America.
- Advancing JetBlue’s position as the transcontinental leader with new markets never served coast-to-coast by the airline.
JetBlue will reactivate some temporarily parked aircraft to support the new routes. Alongside the rest of the JetBlue network, these new markets will be regularly evaluated. The airline will remain flexible, allowing market demand to determine how long a particular route continues to operate.
