That is what happened with JetBlue Airways last week, as the carrier introduced two links from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and one from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). JetBlue's growth at FLL has been significant recently, as the airline benefits from the end of the now-defunct Spirit Airlines. In the present week, Cirium Diio data indicates that FLL is currently the airline's most-served airport. 856 weekly departures are available, exceeding those from New York JFK (816) and Boston (811). JetBlue Begins Flying From Baltimore To San Juan Credit: JetBlue On November 2, the carrier took off from BWI to San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU). As Puerto Rico is a US territory, flights are considered domestic. As the service only covers 1,360 nautical miles (2,519 km) on a great circle basis, it is only JetBlue's ninth-longest route from the Lower 48 states to SJU through next summer. Frequency BWI To SJU; Local Times (Current Week) SJU To BWI; Local Times (Current Week) Daily B6963: 5:16 PM-10:07 PM B6964: 1:30 PM-4:23 PM Flown daily on a year-round basis, it is the first time that JetBlue has served the airport pair. The airline will be one of three carriers running nonstop, joining Frontier Airlines (up to one daily service) and Southwest Airlines (up to three daily flights). JetBlue's entry follows the exit of Spirit earlier this year. Given the schedule, the operating Airbus A320 will fly from somewhere to SJU to BWI to SJU and then elsewhere. For example, on November 8, Flightradar24 indicates that the airframe, the 20.5-year-old N638JB, flew from Hartford to Puerto Rico. It then flew to Maryland and back, remained overnight in SJU, and flew to FLL the next morning. JetBlue Has Launched Flights From Fort Lauderdale To Columbus Credit: JetBlue Also on Monday, November 2, the airline began flying from FLL to John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH). Flights run daily throughout the year. While the 162-seat A320 is nearly always scheduled, the 140-seat A220-300 is due to appear from September 8, 2027. As that is so far away, it is quite possible that it'll change. The operating airframe remains overnight in Ohio. Frequency FLL To CMH; Local Times (Current Week) CMH To FLL ; Local Times (Current Week) Daily B61508: 7:12 PM-9:58 PM B61507: 6:00 AM-8:44 AM JetBlue was interested in this market because Spirit pulled out early this year and had up to two daily services. It joins Frontier, which entered the market in March this year (up to a daily departure), and Southwest (usually daily, but up to four daily services for spring break). JetBlue's entry means that the airport pair has up to six daily flights, just like it did when Spirit operated, although that frequency is very time-limited. Loading map… Drag to explore In the 12 months to July 2026, the US Department of Transportation shows that 235,200 round-trip passengers flew between FLL and CMH. Excluding seasonality, around 640 people traveled daily. About three-quarters of the traffic flew nonstop, meaning approximately 57,000 passengers (156 daily) flew via a hub or other airport en route. Spirit had 38% of the total traffic (89,500). Finally, There Is Fort Lauderdale To Indianapolis Credit: Felix Mizioznikov | Shutterstock Launched on (you guessed it) November 2, FLL to Indianapolis International Airport (IND) follows the same pattern as the other two routes. But it is even more significant because it is the first time that the carrier has flown to IND and Indiana. Spirit operated FLL-IND earlier this year, which motivated JetBlue's entry. Like the other routes mentioned earlier, it is also primarily served daily on the A320. However, the A220 (shown above) is scheduled from December 17, 2026, until January 3, 2027, then from February 11 to 22, and again from September 8 next year. Frequency FLL To IND; Local Times (Current Week) IND To FLL; Local Times (Current Week) Daily B6232: 7:33 PM-10:13 PM B6235: 6:00 AM-8:45 AM JetBlue is one of four operators running nonstop between FLL and IND, coexisting with Allegiant Air (up to 12 weekly), Frontier (up to one daily), and Southwest (up to three daily departures). When added to CMH and the upcoming transcontinental route from FLL to San Diego, JetBlue has 62 routes from FLL this winter.
