FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida \u2014 JetBlue (B6) launched daily nonstop flights to Cali, Colombia, on October 15, 2026<\/a>, connecting Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) with Alfonso Bonilla Arag\u00f3n International Airport (CLO).<\/p>\n

Cali becomes the airline\u2019s fourth destination in Colombia, alongside Cartagena (CTG), Medell\u00edn (MDE) and Barranquilla (BAQ). JetBlue launched its daily Fort Lauderdale\u2013Barranquilla service on October 1, 2026<\/a>, adding two Colombian destinations in two weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new service gives customers more options to travel between Colombia and South Florida, and connect beyond Fort Lauderdale,\u201d said Daniel Shurz, JetBlue\u2019s senior vice president for revenue, network and enterprise planning.<\/p>\n

Daily A320 Service<\/p>\n

JetBlue lists the following timetable in its launch announcement. All times are local, and the schedule may vary.<\/p>\n

\n | Route | Flight | Departure | Arrival |
\n | — | — | — | — |
\n | Fort Lauderdale\u2013Cali | B6 1535 | 10:05 | 12:52 |
\n | Cali\u2013Fort Lauderdale | B6 1540 | 14:10 | 19:00 |\n<\/p>\n

The airline says it will use Airbus A320 aircraft on the route, with its Main cabin and EvenMore extra-legroom seating. The announced onboard offering includes complimentary snacks and drinks, seatback entertainment and free Fly-Fi connectivity; JetBlue qualifies Wi-Fi and live television availability and coverage as varying by aircraft.<\/p>\n

More Colombian Connections Through Fort Lauderdale<\/p>\n

JetBlue says Latin America and the Caribbean account for approximately one-third of its overall capacity. The Cali route adds another nonstop link into its Fort Lauderdale network, giving passengers access to onward connections as well as South Florida.<\/p>\n

JetBlue announced its intention to serve Cali in September 2025<\/a>, when the start date and frequency were still to be announced and the route was subject to government operating authority. Its May 2026 expansion announcement set the October 15 daily launch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The expansion follows the airline\u2019s wider investment in the airport. Airways\u2019 coverage of JetBlue\u2019s second-quarter results<\/a> detailed its concentration of capacity growth at Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n

In the Cali launch release, JetBlue said it expected more than 150 daily departures from Fort Lauderdale during peak winter travel periods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida \u2014 JetBlue (B6) launched daily nonstop flights to Cali, Colombia, on October 15, 2026, connecting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430195,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-430194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
