JetBlue is showing clear confidence in a particular Caribbean destination: the Mexican tourism hub of Cancun, Mexico.

The carrier has been announcing a number of new route launches to Cancun in recent weeks, with the latest coming from Hartford, Conn. 

Beginning Nov. 19, JetBlue will be launching service from Connecticut’s capital to Cancun International Airport.

“We are excited to roll out these new routes connecting Hartford to some of our largest leisure destinations, bringing more low fares and great service to Connecticut residents,” said Scott Laurence, head of revenue and planning at JetBlue. 

The addition of Hartford-Cancun joins Cancun flights from other U.S. cities including Raleigh-Durham, Tampa and Los Angeles, Calif.
