JetBlue expanded its service to Cuba.
JetBlue expanded its operating the airline's first flight to Camagüey's Ignacio Agramonte Airport (CMW). With daily nonstop flights from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Camagüey becomes the second city served by JetBlue on the island nation since operating the first commercial flights in more than 50 years between the U.S. and Cuba in August. The new Camagüey route further advances JetBlue's plan to usher in a new era of affordable and convenient air travel to Cuba. "Camagüey is the latest move in our commitment to Cuba following our historic first flight in more than 50 years from the U.S. earlier this year," said Robin Hayes, president and CEO, JetBlue. "With today's inaugural flight to Camagüey, we bring low fares and our award winning service to yet another new market where customers have faced expensive and complicated service for too long." Situated nearly 350 miles to the east of Havana, Camagüey was settled in the early 1500s and today its historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring urban squares and historic architecture. Beyond Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, Camagüey is now a convenient connection away from many JetBlue cities. "We commend the work of both U.S. and Cuban officials for making today possible. We extend our deep appreciation to the Cuban Ministry of Transportation, IACC, and the Camagüey Airport for entrusting us to operate this route and look forward to our long-term partnership as we continue to grow our presence in Cuba," said JetBlue CEO Hayes.
