JetBlue has announced two new routes from Puerto Rico to North Carolina and Florida.
There will be a year-round service from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan to Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina and the same from Rafael Hernández International Airport in Aguadilla to Tampa International Airport.
“As the largest airline in Puerto Rico, we are thrilled to continue diversifying our network and to further grow JetBlue’s presence on the island with the addition of these two new routes,” said Robin Hayes, chief executive officer.
“This growth will increase competition and choice for customers travelling to and from Puerto Rico and for travellers in Raleigh and Tampa, while also building on our commitment to support tourism on the island and connect family and friends," Hayes added.
“We’re excited about the news of additional JetBlue direct flights between Puerto Rico and the US mainland. These two new flights will help us to continue on the path of growth in our tourism sector. We look forward to building on JetBlue's success in Puerto Rico,” said Pedro Pierluisi, the governor of Puerto Rico.
“We value the longstanding alliance between the Government of Puerto Rico and JetBlue, and look forward to continue providing excellence in the visitor experience, and increasing Tourism’s contribution to local economies,” said executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, Carlos Mercado Santiago.
