JetBlue announces new routes across Florida, Latin America, and Caribbean

JetBlue will return to Daytona Beach on December 4, 2025, offering two daily flights: one each to New York-JFK Airport and Boston-Logan International Airport. This marks JetBlue’s return after ceasing service there before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The airline is also expanding connections between Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip and major Florida destinations such as Fort Myers and Tampa Bay. These new routes will compete with other low-cost carriers including Breeze Airways, Frontier Airlines, and Southwest Airlines.

In Latin America and the Caribbean, JetBlue is focusing on the Dominican Republic by adding service from Fort Lauderdale to Santiago de los Caballeros and from Tampa to Punta Cana. The Tampa-Punta Cana route will provide daily flights starting in December. Previously, this route was served only by Frontier Airlines on a limited basis during the summer season.

"These additions reflect our ongoing commitment to serve customers where demand is strongest," said Joanna Geraghty, CEO of JetBlue. "By building on our core strengths along the East Coast and into key international markets, we’re working hard to offer more options for both leisure travelers and those visiting family."

JetBlue continues efforts under Geraghty’s leadership to return to profitability after several years without positive financial results. The company has focused on cutting unprofitable routes while expanding services that align with its established strengths.

Founded in 2000, JetBlue operates major hubs at Boston Logan International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, New York JFK Airport, Orlando International Airport, and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
