JetBlue is significantly expanding its presence at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), offering travelers more choices, better connectivity, and award-winning service at everyday low fares.
The airline announced 11 new nonstop destinations, increased frequencies on popular routes, and a special loyalty status match for Spirit Airlines customers following Spirit’s shutdown.
This move makes JetBlue Fort Lauderdale’s largest carrier, with nearly 130 daily departures this summer—over 75% more than in 2025. The expanded schedule is now available for booking on jetblue.com and the JetBlue app.
