It’s been a big week for JetBlue.

The airline has now unveiled 2 new routes between the U.S. and Puerto Rico, on the heels of officially announcing the start date for its revamped TrueBlue program.

From July 5, 2023, JetBlue will fly nonstop between the cities of San Juan (SJU) and Raleigh-Durham (RDU), as well as between Aguadilla (BQN) and Tampa (TPA).

“The expanded network connects 2 of Puerto Rico’s main airports to key markets in the continental United States providing travelers with even more options to explore and enjoy the diversity available on the island,” said Carlos Mercado Santiago, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company.

Here’s everything you need to know about JetBlue’s latest Puerto Rican network expansion.

“As the largest airline in Puerto Rico, we are thrilled to continue diversifying our network and to further grow JetBlue’s presence on the island with the addition of these two new routes,” said Robin Hayes, chief executive officer at JetBlue.
