JetBlue Adds 11 New Routes From Fort Lauderdale After Spirit Shutdown

JetBlue has expanded its schedule at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), and a new loyalty status match for eligible Spirit Airlines Free Spirit Silver and Gold members is now available at jetblue.com and in the JetBlue mobile app.

Part of its effort to support travellers following the shutdown of Spirit Airlines, the previously announced expansion includes 11 new destinations from FLL and increased frequencies on existing JetBlue routes, giving customers more options to book the airline’s award-winning service and everyday affordable fares.

JetBlue will launch new nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale and destinations across the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean.

• Six new JetBlue cities: Barranquilla, Colombia ²; Baltimore; Cali, Colombia ²; Charlotte, N.C.; Columbus, Ohio; and Indianapolis.
• New nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale to existing JetBlue cities: Nashville, Tenn.; Detroit; Houston; Chicago; and Ponce, Puerto Rico.
• On high-demand existing routes from Fort Lauderdale JetBlue is adding additional daily flights to Austin, Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, Dallas/Fort Worth, Raleigh-Durham, Santo Domingo, and Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic.
• From its focus city in San Juan, JetBlue will also launch service to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).

The new and expanded flying, now available for booking, builds on JetBlue’s position as Fort Lauderdale’s largest airline and reflects the carrier’s long-term commitment to South Florida, which has been a cornerstone of the JetBlue network since its first flight. With this growth, JetBlue expects to operate nearly 130 daily departures from Fort Lauderdale this summer, marking the largest operation in the airline’s history from the airport and more than 75% more daily flights than in 2025.

The new routes give South Florida customers continued nonstop options for leisure, business and visiting friends and family, while also ensuring convenient access to Fort Lauderdale’s beaches, cruise port and the broader South Florida region. The additional flying leverages JetBlue’s existing scale, crews and infrastructure in South Florida, where the airline continues to grow its focus city.

Through the new offer, eligible Free Spirit Silver and Gold members can match to Mosaic 1 and Mosaic 2 status and begin enjoying benefits designed to make travel more rewarding, seamless and comfortable. JetBlue’s TrueBlue program gives members more value and flexibility, with opportunities to earn points, unlock perks, and access benefits across JetBlue’s growing network, including its expanded schedule from Fort Lauderdale.
