New York-based- JetBlue has announced its plans to expand its Caribbean and US network. The carrier has announced the launch of two new destinations from its hubs at New York (JFK), Boston Logan (BOS), Orlando (MCO), and Los Angeles (LAX).
St Kitts & Nevis and Belize
Later this year, JetBlue will offer flights to two new Caribbean destinations from its hub at New York John F. Kennedy. JetBlue has built an extensive network throughout the Caribbean and Latin America over the past few years. Now JetBlue will offer service to St. Kitts & Nevis and Belize and will offer flights to 27 countries in the region. From its hub at JFK, JetBlue will serve 29 countries and operate up to 192 daily departures during peak periods.
Launching on November 2, 2023, JetBlue will offer nonstop flights between its hub at JFK to Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB) in St. Kitts & Nevis. JetBlue will operate three weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Flight B62967 will depart JFK at 8:29 a.m. and arrive at SKB at 2:14 p.m. The return leg, flight B62968 will depart SKB at 3:30 p.m. and return at JFK at 7:00 p.m.
Dr. Terrance Drew, Prime Minister of St. Kitts & Nevis, commented, “We welcome JetBlue’s announcement of nonstop, 3x weekly service from New York to St. Kitts as a testament to the growing interest in our beautiful island.
"This addition not only adds year-round airlift capacity for the growing travel demand but also enhances the tourism industry, thus generating economic activity for our nationals and residents. I look forward to a positive and mutually beneficial fruitful partnership with JetBlue as we work to create a self-sustaining nation and premier tourism destination.”
JetBlue will also launch flights from JFK to Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City, Belize. Starting on December 6, JetBlue will offer three weekly flights to Belize City on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. JetBlue is the only airline offering nonstop flights from JFK to Belize.

JetBlue will be the first airline to offer nonstop flights between LAX and the Bahamas. Flight B62710 will depart LAX at 9:50 a.m. and arrive at NAS at 6:20 p.m. The return leg, flight B62711 will depart NAS at 7:40 p.m. and arrive at LAX at 10:25 p.m.
JetBlue’s expansion comes as last week; a US judge ruled the Northeast Alliance (NEA) between JetBlue and American Airlines broke antitrust laws and ordered the alliance to be dissolved in 30 days. It is understood that JetBlue and American Airlines will appeal the ruling.
