JetBlue to Launch Service From Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood

Service to Steel City Added as the Airline Continues to Grow Its Presence in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood; Introductory Fares Available Through April 15, Starting at $79 One Way, Valid for Travel October 29 - December 17, 2014 (a)

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwired - April 14, 2014) - JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU), the leading carrier at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), will launch a new route to Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) on October 29, 2014. The service will complement JetBlue's existing route from Pittsburgh to Boston Logan International Airport, and is one of five upcoming routes announced for Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood in 2014/15. To celebrate the new route, flights are now on sale starting at $79 one way (a) for travel between October 29 and December 17, 2014 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday (blackout dates November 20 to December 1, 2014). Tickets must be purchased by April 15.

"Pittsburghers have asked for a nonstop, year-round connection to Florida. With the introduction of this service, customers will not only save time, but also save money as this is traditionally a high-fare route. Besides access to South Florida, this will also meet the great demand for travels onwards to the Caribbean and Latin America," said Robin Hayes, JetBlue's President.

"We are really excited to be adding another flight to the offerings at Pittsburgh International," said Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald. "This connection to Florida will benefit business and leisure travelers and gives our region one more option for their travel. We look forward to continuing to work with JetBlue to grow that service here in Pittsburgh."

JetBlue currently operates 26 nonstop routes out of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, with five more new routes already announced to begin in 2014/15. On May 1, JetBlue will add three new nonstop routes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood to Montego Bay (Jamaica), Port of Spain (Trinidad and Tobago) and Punta Cana (Dominican Republic). Next year, the airline also intends to launch a nonstop route to Albany, NY.
