JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced it has officially
launched service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International
Airport (JFK) and Tulum’s Felipe Carrillo Puerto Tulum
International Airport (TQO), with the first flight arriving in
Tulum this morning. Tulum service will operate daily, making this
JetBlue’s third destination in Mexico, where it also serves Cancun
and Los Cabos.
“As the only airline with direct service from New York’s JFK to
Tulum, we are thrilled to offer our customers our award-winning
service, low fares, and another option when traveling to the
Mexican Caribbean,” said David Jehn, JetBlue’s vice president of
network planning and airline partnerships. “JetBlue began service
to Mexico more than 17 years ago with flights from New York to
Cancun and we’re proud to expand our footprint in Mexico.”
"JetBlue has been an invaluable partner in connecting travelers
from across the United States to the Mexican Caribbean with direct
flights to Cancun. We are excited to see this partnership continue
to flourish with JetBlue's new daily nonstop service from New York
JFK to Tulum,” said Andrés Martínez Reynoso, Director of the
Quintana Roo Tourism Board. “Tulum, with its serene beaches,
eco-conscious living, and rich Mayan history, will now be more
accessible to travelers, in addition to points of interest further
south along the Grand Costa Maya. We look forward to welcoming New
Yorkers, and those transiting through JFK, to this new era in the
Mexican Caribbean."
Tulum, located southwest of Playa del Carmen and Cancun, has
become a top choice for those seeking an escape with health-centric
resorts and retreats, captivating archaeological ruins, and natural
sinkholes. JetBlue’s entry into Tulum supports the carrier’s
ongoing push to offer customers more choice and more great
international destinations to explore. By the end of 2024, JetBlue
will serve 40 international destinations in a route network
spanning from Europe to South America.
