Latest Route Enhances JetBlue’s Presence in Key
Northeast and South Florida Regions
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced it is growing again in
Connecticut and South Florida with new service between Hartford’s
Bradley International Airport (BDL) and Miami International Airport
(MIA) starting June 24, 2021. The new route further bolsters
JetBlue’s position as the largest airline in Connecticut and
expands flying in Miami where JetBlue first launched service just a
month ago. Seats for the new flights are on sale starting
today.
“Connecting customers in the Northeast and South Florida has
been a hallmark of JetBlue’s success for more than 20 years and
offering our award-winning service and low fares between Hartford
and Miami means we can attract new customers and grow in both
regions,” said Scott Laurence, head of revenue and planning,
JetBlue. “We appreciate Governor Lamont’s leadership and focus on
safely driving Connecticut’s recovery to benefit residents and
visitors to the Nutmeg State.”
JetBlue has built a sizeable presence in Hartford in recent
months. With new service to Miami, the airline will now offer
Connecticut travelers nonstop flights to 11 destinations – more
than any other airline at Bradley. As previously announced by
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont, beginning March 19, 2021, the
state’s travel advisory will be modified from a requirement to
recommended guidance – meaning testing and quarantines may be
completed at the discretion of travelers.
“This is great news for both business and leisure travelers who
utilize Bradley Airport,” Gov. Ned Lamont said. “Bradley
International Airport is a vital asset for our region, serving as a
convenient option for businesses and families, and seeing JetBlue
commit to yet another route builds confidence in our residents and
our economy. We are proud to see JetBlue expand at Bradley.”
In December, JetBlue launched all-new flights between Hartford
and:
- Cancún International Airport (CUN)
- Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport (LAS)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
- San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
The recently added destinations complemented existing flying

- Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL)
- Fort Myers’ Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW)
- Orlando International Airport (MCO)
- Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)
- Tampa International Airport (TPA)
- San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU)
“We welcome JetBlue’s expansion at Bradley International Airport
and the addition of new, nonstop service to Miami,” said Kevin. A.
Dillon, A.A.E., executive director of the Connecticut Airport
Authority. “This new route, which follows JetBlue’s other recent
route launches, is a significant vote of confidence in our airport
and the market we serve. We appreciate JetBlue’s continued
investment in our region and are confident that our strengthened
partnership will provide major benefits for our travelers.”

safe return of our tourism economy."

their presence grow even stronger with daily Hartford service
