Airport’s #1 Airline Kicks Off Next Phase of Growth by Announcing Flights to New Orleans and More Service to Nassau, Bahamas

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) today announced it is further growing its presence at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) with plans to operate an average of 140 daily flights in the winter in the coming years. The expansion will result in roughly 75 percent growth from the carrier’s current size at its South Florida focus city.

As part of JetBlue’s ongoing expansion the airline is adding new nonstop service to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) and increasing the number of flights to Nassau, Bahamas’ Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS). The airline will now operate nonstop flights to 46 destinations from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood. More flights and new nonstop destinations are set to be announced later this year.

“We are absolutely thrilled to announce the next phase of our growth at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport,” said Marty St. George, executive vice president commercial and planning at JetBlue. “JetBlue is the number one airline in Fort Lauderdale not only because of our size, but also because we deliver the very best experience to our customers with our award-winning service and style. We served more than five million customers in Fort Lauderdale last year and they have come to expect nothing but the best when they travel with JetBlue. With things like assigned seating, unlimited free name-brand snacks and complimentary TVs and entertainment at every seat we have truly brought humanity back to air travel in South Florida.”

Added service at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood comes as JetBlue continues to upgrade its home at Terminal 3. The airline recently unveiled its interactive customer check-in experience which features state-of-the art kiosks and additional check-in counters in a traveler-friendly configuration. JetBlue also plans to link Terminals 3 and 4 for seamless international connections and offer more retail and dining options for customers.

“The Broward County Aviation Department is elated that JetBlue is making such a huge commitment to our community with their proposed increases in service to benefit travelers in and out of FLL”, said Kent George, Director of Aviation at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

The guy who provides them went back to the line. There may be a disconnect while they figure out the transition.

True however the first few classes scheduled in February were quite a bit smaller than originally anticipated so just applying some conservative math. Unless there are a significant amount of folks that got picked up whilst wading, I think the timeframe I had mentioned is a fairly good bet. It could always move left...or right.
