JetBlue also announces latest network expansion
with three new Caribbean destinations
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced significant network
enhancements that reaffirm its position as the largest carrier in
Puerto Rico. This expansion includes the addition of six new
destinations from San Juan – one of JetBlue’s most successful focus
cities – enhancing connectivity and offering more choices to
customers. In a groundbreaking move for the island, JetBlue is also
introducing its popular Mint experience – JetBlue's take on premium
travel – for the first time in Puerto Rico. Starting in July,
JetBlue will begin offering Mint on a daily flight between San Juan
and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) complete
with lie-flat seats and an elevated dining experience.
"JetBlue has been a proud part of the Puerto Rican community for
over twenty years, and we're excited to deepen our roots with this
expansion," said Marty St. George, president, JetBlue. “Our
decades-long history with this vibrant community drives our
enthusiasm to not only increase our service but also to strengthen
our relationships and presence in the region. We are excited to
continue growing alongside the Puerto Rican community, ensuring
that JetBlue remains a key partner in connecting the people of
Puerto Rico."
“It’s official JetBlue is landing in the Hudson Valley with
brand new service to Puerto Rico. For years I have fought to
increase service for the Westchester County Airport, and this new
route will help provide easy connections for tourists and for
families who have loved ones on the island and help provide a key
destination for new business to help our local economy soar,” said
Senator Charles Schumer of New York. “The federal funds I have
worked hard to deliver are helping the Westchester County Airport
reach new heights and today’s news of more routes being added show
the sky is the limit for new low-cost flying options in New
York.”
"We are pleased to welcome JetBlue’s expansion, with the
addition of new routes to and from the Luis Muñoz Marin
International Airport and six popular travel destinations within
the U.S. East Coast and Latin America,” said Puerto Rico Governor
Pedro R. Pierlusi. “This announcement highlights the airline's
commitment to our market and directly validates and supports our
administration's vision and plans to continue enhancing the growth
of our tourism industry in Puerto Rico.”

Since becoming a part of the community in Puerto Rico in 2002,
the airline’s much-loved low fares and customer experience quickly
positioned JetBlue as a preferred carrier on the island. JetBlue
today employs more than 370 crewmembers across Puerto Rico – and
growing. JetBlue also provides service from Aguadilla and Ponce,
and with the announced expansion in San Juan, it will operate
flights to 18 different destinations from the three airports it
serves on the island. With additional connections through other
JetBlue cities, the airline will average 40 departures per day from
San Juan this upcoming winter, more than any other airline.
More Mint to more places including Phoenix and
Vancouver
Building on the popularity of JetBlue’s Mint experience, the
airline is thrilled to announce the expansion of its premium travel
experience to additional destinations, including Phoenix and
Vancouver. This winter, every flight heading to Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airport (PHX) will feature Mint, offering nonstop
comfort and excellent cuisine from JetBlue's East Coast focus
cities - New York, Boston, and Fort Lauderdale.
JetBlue is not only adding Mint but doubling service from New
York and Boston to Phoenix and reintroducing service from Fort
Lauderdale to Phoenix. Additionally, JetBlue will introduce Mint to
the Canadian market on JetBlue’s daily flight between New York and
Vancouver, British Columbia, elevating the travel experience on
these routes to new heights. JetBlue will also add Mint service
between Fort Lauderdale and Las Vegas.
"Our customers repeatedly share their love for our award-winning
Mint experience, which is why we're excited to expand this unique,
premium service to even more destinations," said St. George. "The
JetBlue Mint experience is designed with customer-first,
residential touches that seamlessly bring the comforts of home to
the sky including fully lie-flat seats, restaurant-quality dining
and thoughtful amenities. We are confident that customers in
Phoenix, Vancouver, and San Juan will appreciate this elevated
service and the expanded travel possibilities that come with
it.”

Adding three Caribbean destinations
JetBlue has long been a leader in the Caribbean and Latin
America, where it operates one-third of its network. JetBlue is set
to enhance that position with the addition of three new Caribbean
destinations.
This fall, JetBlue will launch flights from New York’s JFK to
the pristine beauty of St. Vincent and the Grenadines with service
to Argyle International Airport (SVD), and the tranquil shores in
Bonaire with flights to Flamingo International Airport (BON)1.
These additions are part of JetBlue’s strategy to expand its reach
by adding markets with limited competition but high demand. These
routes, which will go on sale later this month, establish JetBlue
as the only U.S. airline offering direct connections from New
York’s JFK to these captivating destinations.
In addition to these new offerings, JetBlue is also resuming
daily service to Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX) in St. Croix with
flights from San Juan, further facilitating seamless travel within
the Caribbean and easy connections from the US mainland. JetBlue
previously served St. Croix from 2011 to 2019.

JetBlue Vacations, the package deal division of JetBlue, offers
significant value with its flight + hotel bundles to San Juan, one
of its top destinations for these packages. The vacation arm offers
access to over 100 properties in the area, including nine
participating in the Very Important Perks program, which offers
benefits such as $125 credits for food and beverages and additional
perks for stays of four nights or more. Uniquely in San Juan,

Moving flying and redeploying capacity
These strategic network and product moves are part of JetBlue’s
plan to refocus its flying into leisure and VFR (visiting friends
and relatives) routes with strong customer demand as it continues
its efforts to return the airline’s business to profitability. The
new routes, destinations and Mint service lean into strengths in
JetBlue’s product offering and role as a top leisure carrier.
JetBlue will be adding these new routes and services by
redeploying capacity within its network. As a result of the end of
the airline’s Northeast Alliance with American Airlines, JetBlue
will scale back flying at New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and
reduce flying on a handful of underperforming routes in its
network. Along with returning to profitability, the airline
continues to focus on improving reliability across the airline’s
operation.
