JetBlue Launches New Daily Nonstop Flights to Aruba

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - January 4, 2017

JetBlue has launched its newest Caribbean route: nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale and Aruba.

The new service between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Aruba’s Queen Beatrix International Airport will operate daily.

“Airlift is imperative to our tourism success – and this new daily service allows Aruba to cater to our key Ft. Lauderdale market, while also serving as a crucial feeder market for U.S. westerners who have shown an increased propensity to visit Aruba in recent years,” said Aruba Tourism Authority CEO Ronella Tjin Asjoe-Croes. “JetBlue remains an esteemed partner in accommodating the growing demand for travel to our One happy island — welcoming visitors to enjoy our year-round sunshine, stunning white sand beaches and celebrated authentic culture.”
