Building on a Legacy at FLL

Fort Lauderdale, JetBlue’s first destination, has grown with the airline for a quarter of a century and remains a key focus city and major gateway to popular spots across Latin America and the Caribbean. In April, JetBlue announced new service from FLL to Guayaquil, Ecuador and Philadelphia. Then in July, JetBlue announced a further FLL expansion with new service to Atlanta, Austin, Norfolk and Tampa, along with expanded Mint® service, JetBlue’s premium travel experience featuring lie-flat seats, curated dining and added comfort.

To support all its growth, JetBlue is proud to announce plans to open a dedicated Mint base for inflight crewmembers in Fort Lauderdale in early 2026. These steps underscore JetBlue’s deep commitment to South Florida.

Since the beginning of the year, JetBlue has added 17 new routes from Fort Lauderdale. By December, JetBlue will reach 113 daily departures during peak travel times to 46 nonstop destinations, further strengthening its leadership position at FLL and giving South Florida customers unmatched choice and convenience.

These investments reflect JetBlue’s commitment to respond with strategic growth to opportunities to best serve its customers and continue to build the best East Coast leisure network in line with its JetForward strategy.
