JetBlue Airways has announced a significant expansion of its flight network, adding 14 new and resuming routes across Florida, Central America, and the Caribbean. The new services will begin in December 2025, aiming to capture increased leisure travel demand during the winter season.

The airline will launch its first-ever flights to Vero Beach Regional Airport from both Boston Logan International Airport and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. It is also returning to Daytona Beach International Airport for the first time since 2019 with routes from the same two Northeast hubs.

In addition to these moves, JetBlue is increasing its presence at Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip, New York. New routes from this airport include flights to Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers and Tampa International Airport. These join existing services from Islip to other Florida destinations such as Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, Orlando, and Palm Beach.

"Florida continues to be a place JetBlue's unique combination of low fares and great service resonates, and we're proud to grow our footprint with these new destinations to meet customer demand for more of the Sunshine State. Whether it's customers in the Northeast looking for a warm getaway or Floridians traveling north, we're excited to bring more choices and better service to these markets," said Dave Jehn, JetBlue's vice president of network planning and airline partnerships.

The expansion reflects JetBlue’s ongoing strategy shift toward leisure travelers between Florida and the Northeast after cutting back on business-focused routes. This approach aligns with the company's original network model established 25 years ago.

Other airlines are also active in some of these markets. New carriers Avelo and Breeze have been expanding their operations in Daytona Beach. Breeze remains the only other airline currently serving Vero Beach but focuses on different departure cities than JetBlue.

JetBlue is also strengthening its Latin America network out of Boston, where it competes with Delta Air Lines. The carrier will add daily flights from Boston to Liberia Guanacaste Airport in Costa Rica; Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Maarten; Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas; and Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas starting Dec. 18. Around the holidays, there will be additional weekly flights on Saturdays from Boston to Owen Roberts International Airport in Grand Cayman and Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados.

From Florida, new daily routes include service from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood to Cibao International Airport in Santiago de los Caballeros beginning Dec. 13 (seasonal), as well as year-round service from Tampa to Punta Cana International Airport starting Dec. 18.

"This year, JetBlue will offer the most flights from Boston to the Caribbean and Florida with nearly double the number of seats between Boston and Florida and nearly four times as many flights to Latin America and the Caribbean as the next largest carrier this December," according to an announcement by JetBlue.

Recent months have seen further route additions by JetBlue along with redeployment of Mint-equipped aircraft into domestic premium markets ahead of expected launches for new domestic business class products and airport lounges later this year.

A full list of new routes includes expanded frequencies on several Caribbean services as well as new connections between key U.S., Caribbean, and Central American airports.
