JetBlue 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.
