JetBlue Names San Juan, Puerto Rico as the Sixth Focus City in its 71-City Network
During a ribbon-cutting ceremony held today in celebration of JetBlue Airways' JBLU -2.44 percent new home at Terminal A in San Juan's Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (SJU), the airline's President and CEO Dave Barger, together with Puerto Rico's Governor Luis Fortuno, announced that San Juan has become the sixth focus city in JetBlue's 71-city network.
Further, to celebrate the airline's first decade in the Commonwealth, Puerto Rico's largest carrier (b) is launching its Celebrate Puerto Rico Sweepstakes, giving away 10 flights every day during 10 days, among other prizes.
San Juan joins Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, New York and Orlando as the sixth focus city in JetBlue's network. The designation of San Juan as a focus city in JetBlue's growing route network underscores the airline's ever-increasing commitment to the Puerto Rican community and its expansion into the new Terminal A at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, which will be able to accommodate further growth.
In Puerto Rico, JetBlue currently serves Aguadilla, Ponce and San Juan, with service to 13 nonstop destinations, nine within the continental US: Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Hartford, Jacksonville, New York, Newark, Orlando, Tampa and West Palm Beach and; four within the Caribbean: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and St. Croix. The airline has announced it will begin the only direct non-stop to Washington Reagan National Airport, its 14th city out of San Juan, on August 23, 2012.
