JetBlue introduces its award-winning service
and low fares to Dutch Caribbean Island as the only airline to
offer nonstop service from New York’s JFK to Bonaire

JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) today announced the official launch of
service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport
(JFK) and Bonaire’s Flamingo International Airport (BON), with the
inaugural flight arriving on the island this afternoon. The
twice-weekly roundtrip service, operating on Tuesdays and
Saturdays, is the only nonstop option from New York’s JFK to
Bonaire. With this new addition, JetBlue now connects travelers to
all three of the ABC Islands, the Dutch Caribbean's Aruba, Bonaire,
and Curaçao, as well as to St. Maarten, further expanding its
robust Caribbean network.
“Renowned for its natural beauty, pristine beaches, and warm
hospitality, we are excited to launch service to Bonaire,
introducing a new destination and more travel options to our
customers looking for a Caribbean getaway,” said David Jehn, vice
president of network planning and airline partnerships at JetBlue.
“Expanding our service in the Caribbean demonstrates our commitment
to continue providing our customers exceptional travel options and
experiences while promoting tourism and accessibility.”
"Welcoming JetBlue as an airline partner marks a significant
step in our commitment to making our beautiful island more
accessible to North American travelers,” noted Miles Mercera, CEO
at Tourism Corporation Bonaire. "This expansion not only reflects
the growing interest in our region, but also showcases our
dedication to fostering tourism and welcoming visitors to
experience the unique culture and stunning landscapes we have to
offer. Together, we're paving the way for new adventures and
unforgettable memories."
"We are excited to celebrate the launch of this new direct
flight from New York's JFK to Bonaire," said Maarten van der
Scheer, CEO of Bonaire International Airport. "Welcoming JetBlue to
Flamingo Airport, with a twice-weekly, year-round service, has been
made possible through the hard work, dedication, and collaboration
of many partners working toward the same goal: increasing
connectivity to Bonaire and making it easier than ever for
travelers to reach our beautiful island."
Located in the Leeward Antilles, Bonaire offers an authentic
cultural experience for travelers. Earning its nickname “diver’s
paradise,” Bonaire is known for its crystal-clear waters,
exceptional scuba diving and snorkeling environment surrounded by
vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. The Dutch island
offers world-class gastronomy, luxurious stays, outdoor adventures,
animal sanctuaries, national parks, cactus-filled deserts and
year-round sunshine, making it the perfect getaway to attract
travelers.
Leading in leisure and premium travel JetBlue’s new
service to Bonaire supports its commitment to providing exceptional
travel experiences, with a focus on leisure and VFR (visiting
friends and relatives) routes, aligned with the airline's
JetForward strategy. This launch also strengthens JetBlue's New
York focus city strategy, marking its 34th destination in Latin
America and the Caribbean served from New York-JFK this winter,
more than any other airline, while further expanding its presence
in the region.
