JetBlue has announced a strategic expansion at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, increasing capacity on key routes to Colombia and within the United States.
Strengthening the South Florida Strategic Hub
As the primary carrier at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, JetBlue is reaffirming its commitment to this market, which served as its inaugural destination 26 years ago and remains a cornerstone of its global network today. Over the past year, the company has integrated 20 additional destinations from this base, currently operating the highest number of departures to the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
According to Daniel Shurz, JetBlue’s Senior Vice President of Revenue, Network, and Enterprise Planning, these additions are a response to robust demand and the objective of “building depth” in its South Florida focus city.

Expansion Details: Routes and New Frequencies
The airline will increase connectivity across four popular routes, highlighting the transition from limited flight schedules to daily service and increased frequencies in high-demand domestic markets.
New Service Schedule
| Destination City | New Expanded Service | Previous Service | Start Date |
| Cartagena, Colombia | Daily, year-round | 4 flights per week | June 11 |
| Jacksonville | Daily, year-round | Limited (Spring Break) | June 18 |
| Dallas-Fort Worth | Twice daily | Once daily | June 18 |
| Tampa | Twice daily | Once daily | June 18 |
The shift on the route to Jacksonville International Airport is particularly notable, as it provides consistent, non-stop access between Northeast and South Florida, eliminating the restriction of operating only during peak travel seasons.
With these moves, JetBlue seeks to ensure that Fort Lauderdale remains one of the most connected and robust cities in its operational network, facilitating growth in both business and leisure passenger traffic.
