JetBlue Airways Corporation (JBLU - Free Report) is expanding its footprint in Connecticut and South Florida with new service between Hartford, CT and Miami, FL.

Flights connecting Bradley International Airport (BDL) and Miami International Airport (MIA) will operate daily starting Jun 24, 2021. Following this new service, the airline will offer Connecticut travelers with nonstop flights to 11 destinations.

Notably, JetBlue already has a substantial presence at Bradley International Airport. Last December, the airline launched flights connecting Bradley with Cancun International Airport, Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport and San Francisco International Airport. This was an addition to JetBlue’s existing services between Bradley and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Fort Myers’ Southwest Florida International Airport, Orlando International Airport, Palm Beach International Airport, Tampa International Airport as well as San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport. Meanwhile, from Miami, JetBlue has existing services to New York-JFK; Newark, NJ; Boston, MA and Mint flights to Los Angeles.


The Long Island City, NY-based carrier will operate the Hartford-Miami service on its Airbus A320 aircraft featuring the widest legroom in coach, super-fast broadband internet, along with complimentary name-brand snacks and soft drinks.

Anticipating an increase in air-travel demand during the summer season as vaccine distribution continues, the airlines are ramping up expansion initiatives. Recently, Spirit Airlines (SAVE - Free Report) announced plans to launch services in Pensacola, FL. Beginning June 2021, the airline will connect Pensacola with seven destinations, namely, Columbus, OH; Indianapolis, IN; Louisville, KY; Austin, TX; Dallas-Fort Worth, TX; Kansas City, MO and St. Louis, MO. Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines (LUV - Free Report) will introduce flights to Myrtle Beach, SC this summer, expecting to attract traffic.

Starting May 20, 2021, the airline will begin nonstop service connecting San Diego with Kalispell and Bozeman. On the same day, the carrier will also add another nonstop flight between Los Angeles and Kalispell.
