As part of its expanded “Northeast Alliance” with American Airlines, JetBlue Airways has announced that it will be adding several new nonstop flights in 2023 to some of the Caribbean’s most popular destinations.

The company made the announcement in a press statement on Friday, December 9. 

“The Northeast Alliance is bringing more of JetBlue’s low fares and great service to more customers,” Vice President of Northeast Alliance for JetBlue, Dave Fintzen, said.

“As we continue to enhance the Northeast Alliance and link more destinations with new nonstop choices, customers finally have a compelling alternative to the carriers that have dominated the market for too long,” he added.

In spring 2023, JetBlue will introduce nonstop once-daily flights between New York-LaGuardia and Nassau, The Bahamas, and once-daily flights from LaGuardia to Bermuda to be launched for the summer season.

In the summer of 2023, JetBlue will be launching nonstop service between Newark and Montego Bay, Jamaica. That route will operate once daily through the end of the summer.

Also, starting next summer, JetBlue will be expanding its premium Mint cabins on its Saturday service between Newark and Aruba’s Queen Beatrix International Airport.

All of these new JetBlue routes will begin accepting reservations in January.
