JetBlue (JBLU) Begins New York-Puerto Vallarta Nonstop Flights

JetBlue Airways JBLU recently launched nonstop flights between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Puerto Vallarta’s Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport, expanding its presence in Mexico. With air-travel demand continuing to improve, the airline’s measures to expand its network are encouraging.

The Puerto Vallarta service, which began on Feb 19, will operate four times a week. Puerto Vallarta is the third destination being served by JetBlue in Mexico. The new service expands the airline’s presence in Latin America and the Caribbean, while simultaneously widening its base in the New York focus city.

The service is a part of JBLU’s Northeast Alliance (“NEA”) with American Airlines AAL. Previously, the two airlines had announced plans to expand their global footprint under the partnership.
