JetBlue reinstates Austin-Fort Lauderdale flights with Airbus A320

JetBlue Airways is set to reinstate its nonstop flights between Austin and Fort Lauderdale starting November 20, utilizing the Airbus A320 aircraft. This route was previously suspended in May 2024 as part of a broader network realignment due to underperformance. The decision is part of JetBlue's efforts to strengthen operations at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, a key focus city for the airline.

The twice-daily service will feature flights departing from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport at 6:20 AM and 2:05 PM, while return flights from Fort Lauderdale are scheduled for 11:00 AM and 8:00 PM. The move comes after JetBlue faced challenges with limited aircraft availability due to Pratt & Whitney GTF engine inspections, which grounded part of its fleet.

JetBlue's passenger traffic in Austin has declined significantly since 2019, dropping from nearly 600,000 passengers to under 200,000 by 2024. The airline's market share at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport also decreased from about 3.3% in 2019 to just 0.9% by last year.

Despite these challenges, JetBlue sees renewed demand for the Austin-Fort Lauderdale route. "Austin asked, and we listened," said a spokesperson in a statement to KXAN. The airline will face competition on this route from Southwest Airlines and Spirit Airlines.

In addition to restoring the Austin service, JetBlue plans to expand its presence at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport by resuming routes to Atlanta and launching new services to Norfolk and Tampa. It will also increase frequencies on high-demand routes such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Raleigh-Durham, and Richmond.

JetBlue aims to enhance its premium transcontinental offering with an expansion of its Mint product from Fort Lauderdale this winter season.
