On Tuesday, JetBlue Airways announced plans to continue expanding across the United States and the Caribbean by launching new routes and reaching two new destinations, Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw International Airport (SKB) in St. Kitts and Nevis and Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City, Belize.

New destinations

JetBlue is set to begin servicing St. Kitts and Nevis and Belize City from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). With the company’s expansion, the airline will now operate in 27 countries within the region. Additionally, JetBlue will now serve 29 countries from JFK and will offer an average of up to 192 departures per day during peak periods.

JetBlue’s new service to St. Kitts

The service from JFK to St. Kitts will begin on November 2. JetBlue will offer three flights per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Flight 2967 will depart from New York at 08:29, landing in St. Kitts at 14:14. The return leg, flight 2968, will leave at 15:30, reaching the Big Apple at 19:00. Terrance Drew, the Prime Minister of the Caribbean nation, said in a statement,

“We welcome JetBlue’s announcement of nonstop, 3x weekly service from New York to St. Kitts as a testament to the growing interest in our beautiful island. This addition not only adds year-round airlift capacity for the growing travel demand but also enhances the tourism industry, thus generating economic activity for our nationals and residents. I look forward to a positive and mutually beneficial fruitful partnership with JetBlue as we work to create a self-sustaining nation and premier tourism destination.”

JetBlue’s new service to Belize City

The company’s new route from JFK to Belize City will begin on December 6. JetBlue will offer three weekly flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Flight 2781 will depart at 08:29 from New York, landing in Belize at 12:14. The return service, flight 2784, will leave at 13:30, landing at 19:00. JetBlue will be the only operator on this route.

Anthony Mahler, Belize’s Minister of Tourism and Diaspora Relations, said this new route is a huge win for the government’s efforts to make Belize accessible to more US visitors. These are JetBlue's newest routes:

Bahamas and Grenada expansions and other routes

JetBlue not only announced these two new routes. The airline will launch new services to the Caribbean, particularly to the Bahamas and Grenada. Starting on November 4, JetBlue will offer a new service between Boston International (BOS) and the Caribbean island of Grenada. On that same day, the airline will advance its strategy at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), introducing a new route to Nassau (NAS) in the Bahamas.

Both routes will only have one weekly flight on Saturdays. The service (2153) between Boston and Grenada will depart at 08:00, landing on the Caribbean island at 13:43. The return service, 2152, will leave at 15:03, landing at 19:04.

Meanwhile, service 2710 will depart from LAX at 09:50 and land in Nassau at 18:20 local time. The return service, 2711, will leave at 19:40, landing at 22:25 local time.

Finally, JetBlue announced a new flight connecting Orlando (MCO) and Raleigh-Durham (RDU) beginning on November 2, 2023. This service will be daily.
