JetBlue continues to solidify its dominance as Fort Lauderdale\u2019s top airline. On March 12, 2026, the carrier unveiled plans to expand service on four high-demand routes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).<\/p>\n

This move underscores JetBlue\u2019s ongoing investment in its key South Florida focus city. A major highlight is the upgrade of flights between Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville (JAX).<\/p>\n
