The launch marks another milestone in JetBlue\u2019s expansion in both South Florida and Colombia, giving customers a new nonstop option between Fort Lauderdale and one of Colombia\u2019s largest cities, while providing travelers from Cali with convenient connections through FLL to destinations across the airline\u2019s growing network.<\/p>\n<p>\nCali becomes JetBlue\u2019s fourth destination in Colombia, joining Cartagena and Medell\u00edn, and follows the airline\u2019s launch of Fort Lauderdale\u2013Barranquilla service earlier this month. The additions deepen JetBlue\u2019s presence in a region that remains an important part of its network, with Latin America and the Caribbean accounting for approximately one-third of the airline\u2019s overall capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\nKnown as the \u201cSalsa Capital of the World,\u201d Cali is renowned for its music and dance culture and serves as a major commercial and cultural center in southwestern Colombia. The new daily service creates a convenient nonstop link to South Florida, supporting travel for customers, visiting friends and relatives, exploring the region or traveling for business.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe addition of Cali marks another important milestone in JetBlue&#8217;s continued growth in Colombia, extending our award-winning service and competitive fares to even more customers,\u201d said Daniel Shurz, senior vice president, revenue, network and enterprise planning, JetBlue. \u201cThis new service gives customers more options to travel between Colombia and South Florida, and connect beyond Fort Lauderdale, reflecting our continued commitment to the country and our focus on growing in markets where we see strong customer demand and opportunities to offer greater choice and competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nGrowing JetBlue&#8217;s Largest-Ever Fort Lauderdale Network<\/p>\n<p>\nCali\u2019s launch comes as JetBlue continues a significant expansion in Fort Lauderdale, the airline\u2019s first destination and a major focus city in its network. JetBlue now offers more flights and nonstop destinations from FLL than any other airline.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn July, JetBlue launched nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale to eight destinations in a single week. Since December 2025, the airline has added 12 nonstop destinations from FLL and increased daily departures by more than 75% compared with the same period last year. The growth continues in November with new service to Columbus (CMH), Indianapolis (IND) and San Diego (SAN). This winter, JetBlue expects to operate over 150 daily departures from Fort Lauderdale during peak travel times, its largest schedule ever at FLL, giving South Florida customers more options across the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignc\">\nDaily service between Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Cali (CLO)<br \/>\n<br \/>All times local (Schedule may vary)<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\nFLL-CLO Flight #1535<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\nCLO-FLL Flight #1540<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n10:05am \u2013 12:52pm<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n2:10pm \u2013 7:00pm<\/p>\n<p>\nJetBlue will operate the Cali route on its Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring the airline&#8217;s signature Main customer experience with free high-speed Fly-Fi\u00ae, seatback entertainment with live TV at every seat and complimentary snacks and drinks.1<\/p>\n<p>\nEvenMore customers enjoy added benefits including extra legroom, priority security where available, early boarding, dedicated overhead bin space and additional onboard perks.<\/p>\n<p>\nBook Better with JetBlue<\/p>\n<p>\nTo celebrate today\u2019s launch, for a limited time, travelers can take advantage of one-way fares from Fort Lauderdale to Cali starting at $139 in Main and $239 in EvenMore on jetblue.com.2<\/p>\n<p>\nAbout JetBlue<br \/>\n<br \/>JetBlue is New York&#8217;s Hometown Airline\u00ae, and a leading carrier in Boston, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, Los Angeles, Orlando and San Juan.
