“This growth will increase competition and choice for customers traveling to and from Puerto Rico and for travelers in Raleigh and Tampa, while building on our commitment to supporting tourism on the island and connecting family and friends“, said Robin Hayes, JetBlue’s chief executive officer.
JetBlue is currently the leading airline in Puerto Rico in terms of seats per seat kilometers (ASK) with a 27% market share according to data obtained through Cirium. The company operates 35 daily flights from Puerto Rico to the United States and the Caribbean.
“The Puerto Rico Tourism Company is pleased to announce along with our partner, JetBlue, the addition of these new routes. The expanded network connects two of Puerto Rico’s major airports with key markets in the continental United States, giving travelers even more options to explore and enjoy the diversity available on the island“, said Carlos Mercado Santiago, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company.
The scheduling of the new routes coincides with the company’s 21st anniversary in San Juan (SJU). In Puerto Rico, JetBlue has a focus city at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) and offers nonstop service to Aguadilla (BQN) and Ponce (PSE).
With the introduction of Raleigh/Durham (RDU), the company will now have service between Puerto Rico and 12 cities in the United States and the Caribbean.
