On Thursday (May 28, 2026), JetBlue announced plans 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 government approval and completion of applicable processes to operate in Venezuela.  JetBlue plans to begin service before the end of 2026, with tickets expected to go on sale in the coming months.  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.


In Thursday’s announcement, JetBlue’s VP – Network Planning and Airline Partnerships, Dave Jehn, said,


“Fort Lauderdale continues to serve as JetBlue’s gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America, and we believe there is meaningful opportunity to expand our presence in the region with planned service to Caracas.  South Florida is home to a large Venezuelan community, and this new route would help connect families and loved ones with JetBlue’s competitive fares and award-winning service.”


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 new Caracas 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 connectivity across JetBlue’s broader network.


JetBlue is ‘New York’s Hometown Airline®’ and a leading carrier in Boston (BOS), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Los Angeles (LAX), Orlando (MCO) and San Juan (SJU).  The airline carries guests to over 100 destinations across the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada and Europe.  JetBlue Airways Corporation trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol JBLU.
