JetBlue is expanding its footprint in the Caribbean with new routes, new services and new destinations. This Caribbean expansion will significantly enhance the airline’s network, increasing connectivity and providing more options for passengers.
JetBlue is Puerto Rico’s largest airline and these new initiatives will make the island a more prominent feature in the Caribbean tourism industry. JetBlue President Marty St. George is excited about the expansion and sees it as a way to strengthen their relationship with Puerto Rico. This sentiment is shared by Puerto Rico Governor Pedro R. Pierluci, who said the island is pleased to welcome JetBlue’s expansion and that it will support their efforts to boost Puerto Rico’s tourism industry.
