Many are hoping that 2021 will be a great year for travel. While the aforementioned statement is yet to be seen, US airline carrier JetBlue is definitely an advocate.
The low-cost carrier recently announced major expansion plans for 2021, adding four completely new destinations and 24 new nonstop routes by the first half of the year.
The all new destinations JetBlue has announced are:
– Miami, Florida
– Key West, Florida
– Guatemala City, Guatemala
– Los Cabos, Mexico
The move is made in anticipation of increased customer demand, as an attempt to generate cash flow and capture traveler traffic within the market.
Speaking on the announcement, JetBlue Head of Revenue and Planning, Scott Laurence stated:
“This year has pushed us to find new ways of operating our business and we’ve adapted at a pace we’ve never seen before, pivoting our network in response to changing customer demand. We’re continuing to play offence to bring in cash revenue and support our business recovery. These network additions help fine-tune our geography in ways that make sense in today’s market.”
