JetBlue is making a major push in Puerto Rico.
The New York-based airline on Wednesday announced a big expansion of its route map from San Juan, with new flights to five mainland U.S. cities launching early next year.
It comes on the heels of a 2025 that already saw JetBlue grow its footprint in the Puerto Rican capital city.
This year, the carrier grew its total departures from San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) by 16% versus a year ago, according to data from aviation analytics firm Cirium.

That growth will continue in 2026, as the carrier launches new SJU flights to Florida, the mid-Atlantic and the Northeast.
“Puerto Rico has shaped JetBlue’s identity for more than two decades,” JetBlue President Marty St. George said in a statement announcing the news. “Our newest routes only deepen our commitment to the island and the communities that have been part of JetBlue’s story since 2002.”
