Marking the airline’s first-ever
service to Venezuela, JetBlue announced plans to launch non-stop service
between Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Simón Bolívar International Airport (CCS) in
Maiquetía, Venezuela.
JetBlue plans to begin service before the end of 2026 with
tickets expected to go on sale in the coming months.
The new route using the
airline’s AirBus A320 is expected to support strong demand from customers
visiting friends and relatives and providing South Florida travelers with a
convenient new nonstop option to Caracas.
“Fort Lauderdale continues to serve as JetBlue’s gateway to
the Caribbean and Latin America, and we believe there is meaningful opportunity
to expand our presence in the region with planned service to Caracas,” said
Dave Jehn, vice president, network planning and airline partnerships, JetBlue
in a statement.
He added, “South Florida is home to a large Venezuelan
community, and this new route would help connect families and loved ones with
JetBlue’s competitive fares and award-winning service.”
JetBlue also continues to expand its presence in Fort
Lauderdale as the airline recently announced its largest-ever schedule from
the airport. This includes 11 new destinations and additional flights on
existing routes across the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean, with nearly
130 daily departures expected in summer 2026.
