JetBlue is adding a major new travel option for Northeast Florida in 2026. Nonstop flights from Jacksonville International Airport to San Juan, Puerto Rico, will begin March 13. The new route expands JetBlue’s Caribbean service and restores a full-time connection Jacksonville hasn’t had in more than a decade.

The Air Force refueling tanker was flying without its location transponder activated and could not be detected by air traffic control.

JetBlue is bringing direct service to San Juan to five cities, including Philly, in 2026.

JetBlue is doubling down on Puerto Rico with five new routes from San Juan, as part of a larger seven-route expansion.

A JetBlue plane narrowly avoided a potential mid-air collision with a US military aircraft during a recent flight, prompting renewed questions about airspace coordination and cockpit decision-making.

South Florida airports have expanded their flight offerings this year, with airlines adding domestic and international routes primarily across Central America, the Caribbean and Italy. Avianca, Arajet, JetBlue, Spirit, Frontier, and American Airlines have all announced new routes.
