JetBlue Airways on October 15, 2026 launched new daily nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Alfonso Bonilla Aragรณn International Airport (CLO), serving Cali, Colombia. The launch marks another milestone in JetBlueโs expansion in both South Florida and Colombia, giving customers a new nonstop option between Fort Lauderdale and one of Colombiaโs largest cities, while providing travelers from Cali with convenient connections through FLL to destinations across the airlineโs growing network.

Cali becomes JetBlueโs fourth destination in Colombia, joining Cartagena and Medellรญn, and follows the airlineโs launch of Fort LauderdaleโBarranquilla service earlier this month. The additions deepen JetBlueโs presence in a region that remains an important part of its network, with Latin America and the Caribbean accounting for approximately one-third of the airlineโs overall capacity.
Caliโs launch comes as JetBlue continues a significant expansion in Fort Lauderdale, the airlineโs first destination and a major focus city in its network. JetBlue now offers more flights and nonstop destinations from FLL than any other airline.
In July, JetBlue launched nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale to eight destinations in a single week. Since December 2025, the airline has added 12 nonstop destinations from FLL and increased daily departures by more than 75% compared with the same period last year. The growth continues in November with new service to Columbus (CMH), Indianapolis (IND) and San Diego (SAN). This winter, JetBlue expects to operate over 150 daily departures from Fort Lauderdale during peak travel times, its largest schedule ever at FLL, giving South Florida customers more options across the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Together, the partnerships reflect the energy, creativity and cultural relevance of New York Cityโs outstanding dining scene todayโbringing restaurant-quality hospitality and bold, contemporary flavors to customers traveling in Mint.

JetBlue Airways, the largest airline serving the Dominican Republic, on May 28, 2026 officially unveiledย Quisqueya la Bluebellaย at Santo Domingoโs Las Amรฉricas International Airport (SDQ), a vibrant new aircraft livery celebrating Dominican pride and a major milestone for the airline. The newly designed Airbus A320 honors the countryโs rich culture and JetBlueโs deep connection to the Dominican community. Created by Dominican artist Willy Gรณmez, the design wasย chosen by the public earlier this year.
The nameย Quisqueya la Bluebellaย is a playful nod to the beloved patriotic phrase โQuisqueya la Bella,โ reimagined with JetBlueโs signature flair. The design was introduced during a celebratory event in Santo Domingo, where customers, community members, local leaders, and JetBlue crewmembers gathered to celebrate Dominican culture and see the aircraft up close.
A tribute to Dominican culture, identity, and connection Through Gรณmezโs artistic eye, the aircraftโs creative design is meant to capture the spirit of the Dominican Republic through color and movement. Flowing lines and dynamic shapes echo the rhythm of merengue and bachata, while vibrant tropical tones reflect its warmth, resilience and energy, bringing to life the essence of everyday Dominican life.
From the Dominican Republic to communities across JetBlueโs network, and among its many Dominican crewmembers, it stands as a powerful symbol of belonging and shared identity. The phrase โTamoโ aquรญโ (โWeโre hereโ), featured on the aircraft belly, reinforces JetBlueโs ongoing presence and commitmentโboth at home and abroad. Today, JetBlue is the largest airline serving the Dominican Republic, with service to Santo Domingo, Santiago, Punta Cana, and Puerto Plata.
Quisqueya la Bluebella features design elements including:
The dominoes game, a beloved part of everyday Dominican life
Traditional musical instruments such as the tambora, gรผira, and accordion, representing the rhythm of merengue and bachata
Theย Cigรผa Palmera, the national bird, symbolizing Dominican identity
Vibrant Dominican flowers that reflect the nationโs natural beauty
The Alcรกzar de Colรณn, honoring the countryโs rich history
Palm trees and ocean waves, representing the Dominican Republicโs landscapes and coastal culture
Contemporary street-art influences that highlight modern Dominican creativity
Elevating Dominican creativity through art In January, JetBlue launched its RD Orgullo que Eleva (DR Pride That Lifts) campaign, inviting customers, fans and members of the public to help select a design that would celebrate the Dominican Republic through a special aircraft livery. The campaign featured three concepts created by Dominican artists, Gรณmez, Los Plebeyos, and Lena Tolkens, each offering their interpretation of the Dominican culture, with Gรณmezโs design selected by the community.
At the heart of the campaign was JetBlueโs commitment to amplify authentic voices and celebrate local talent. Extending this effort beyond the design, JetBlue partnered with Centro Educativo Hogar Andres Boca Chica ahead of the unveiling. Led by Gรณmez, the initiative engaged and inspired the next generation of Dominican creatives through the creation of a community mural, which was showcased at todayโs unveiling event. As part of this initiative, JetBlue also made a donation to support the organizationโs ongoing work in the community.
Deepening ties with the Dominican Republic and its diaspora As a part of the communities it serves, this summer JetBlue will celebrate the Dominican Republic and its diaspora as an official sponsor of the Dominican Day Parade in New York City on August 9. A float inspired by the newly unveiled Quisqueya la Bluebella design will make a special appearance, bringing the celebration to one of the largest Dominican communities outside of the Dominican Republic.
This summer, JetBlue will operate an average of 45 daily flights to and from the Dominican Republic, strengthening connections between the country, the United States and the Caribbean. The airline offers the most routes between the Dominican Republic and the U.S. than any other carrier, reinforcing its position as the lead airline in the country.
Most recently, JetBlue announced additional daily flights from Fort Lauderdale to high-demand destinations, including Santo Domingo and Santiago, starting July 9, further expanding access and meeting growing travel demand. Beyond its network, JetBlue continues to invest in and support communities across the Dominican Republic through meaningful local partnerships, JetBlue Foundation grants, and meaningful local initiatives that help expand opportunities for schools and community programs across the country.

At-Home Entertainment in the Sky
As JetBlue continues to innovate industry-leading onboard technology, Blueprint by JetBlue brings new seatback touchscreen features that mimic what customers are used to experiencing with their favorite streaming platforms at home. Some of the new functions that customers can look forward to seeing on their seatback screens include:
Watch party:ย Watch the same film or TV show at the exact same time with up to five other customers on the flight. JetBlue is the first airline to allow up to six customers to watch entertainment content at the same time to enjoy family-style viewing. Play and pause can be controlled on all linked screens, regardless of where each viewer is seated.
Content recommendations:ย Receive personal recommendations for inflight entertainment based on previous viewing history.
Pick up where you left off:ย Whether connecting with a layover or flying next month, never miss the end of a film or television showโautomatically pick up where you left off from flight to flight.
Saved favorites:ย Save film and TV show selections to watch on future flights so you can spend less time searching and more time watching.
Saved settings:ย Accessibility and system settings, such as volume, language, parental controls and close captions preferences can now be saved and carried over from flight to flight.
Content partnerships:ย First-of-its-kind partnerships such as JetBlueโs exclusive streaming partner,ย Peacock,ย provide customers with access to exclusive entertainment and offers.
These new personalization features on JetBlueโs award-winning inflight entertainment system will give customers a bespoke inflight experience, not only throughout their current journey, but extending into subsequent flights when customers opt-in to securely authenticate their profiles on AVANT seatback touchscreens.
Tailored Touchpoints for Seamless Connection
Beyond inflight entertainment options, Blueprint expands on JetBlueโs existing products that give customers a more personalized experience and brings their entire travel journey to their fingertips:
Personal greetings:ย Customers can now change their preferred name on their JetBlue travel profile to be displayed in a personal welcome message on seatback screens, whether or not they identify with their legal name.
JetBlue is the only airline that greets customers with confetti graphics and a complimentary drink (21+) when flying on their birthday.
Flight connect:ย Customers can access information regarding their JetBlue connecting flights and gates right at their seat.
Seatback ordering:ย JetBlueโs seatback ordering feature that lets customers make meal selections directly from the seatback screen now extends to its A321neo with Mint aircraft, further elevating dining on all transatlantic flights.
Loyalty made easy:ย Customers can enjoy easy one-click sign-up to JetBlueโs TrueBlue loyalty program through a QR pop-up on seatback touchscreens that automatically populates first and last name directly on a personal device.
The new personalization functions have begun rolling out on JetBlueโs AVANT touchscreen aircraft powered by Thales and are expected to be completed next month.
โJetBlue has always been an innovator as the first to have seatback screens and fast, free and unlimited Wi-Fi on every aircraft,โ said Jayne OโBrien, head of marketing and customer support, JetBlue. โBy launching Blueprint by JetBlue, we are doubling down on our commitment to help customers create an inflight experience tailored to their needs and preferences, making their flight as comfortable as their own living rooms.โ

The carrier plans to grow its transatlantic presence this year with new service from Boston Logan to Londonโs Heathrow Airport, launching September 20, 2022, and an additional Gatwickdeparture from New York starting October 29, 2022.
