News / JetBlue announces intent to launch service between Fort Lauderdale and Caracas, Venezuela
New route would further strengthen JetBlue’s leading position in Fort Lauderdale and support travel between the U.S. and Venezuela
JetBlue announced its intent to launch nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Simón Bolívar International Airport (CCS) in Maiquetía, Venezuela, marking the airline’s first-ever service to Venezuela. The proposed route remains subject to receipt of government approval and completion of applicable processes to operate in Venezuela.
JetBlue plans to begin service before the end of the year, with tickets expected to go on sale in the coming months.
The new route will connect Caracas with JetBlue’s Fort Lauderdale focus city, a key gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America, where the airline offers customers an extensive network of destinations across the region. The service is expected to support strong demand from customers visiting friends and relatives, providing South Florida travelers with a convenient new nonstop option to Caracas and seamless connections across JetBlue’s broader network.
JetBlue plans to operate the Caracas route using its Airbus A320 aircraft offering the airline's award-winning service, including fast, free, unlimited Fly-Fi®, seatback entertainment at every seat and complimentary snacks and drinks.1
Continued growth in Fort Lauderdale
JetBlue continues to expand its presence in Fort Lauderdale, where the airline recently announced its largest-ever schedule from the airport, including 11 new destinations and additional flights on existing routes across the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean. With nearly 130 daily departures expected this summer, Fort Lauderdale has become one of JetBlue’s largest and most important gateways.
The proposed Caracas service would build on that growth by giving South Florida’s Venezuelan community another convenient way to stay connected with family and loved ones, while also expanding access to JetBlue’s broader network across the Americas.
1 Fly-Fi® and live television are available on all JetBlue-operated flights. Availability and coverage area may vary by aircraft. Details on inflight wi-fi and entertainment: jetblue.com/flying-with-us.
