direct flights Puerto Rico to Jacksonville airport

JetBlue Airways will begin daily nonstop service between Jacksonville and San Juan, Puerto Rico, beginning in May 2011. The airline plans to operate one departure and arrival each day between Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) and Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan.

The JetBlue flights will be the first daily direct flights between JAX and the island of Puerto Rico.
The addition of service between Jacksonville and San Juan underscores JetBlue’s commitment to Puerto Rico. JetBlue sees Puerto Rico as the cornerstone of growth in the Caribbean, and they are happy to be able to offer expanding flights at an affordable price to their customers.
JetBlue also announced that it will add a second daily flight from Jacksonville to Boston in May 2011. “This is great news for Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, especially those at the Jacksonville port, that conduct regular business with Puerto Rico,” said JAA Executive Director and CEO Steve Grossman. “We have been working to put together daily service to Puerto Rico for several years and this announcement is the culmination of a lot of hard work by the JAA staff and the Jacksonville community.”

JetBlue’s planned schedule between Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) and San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) calls for its daily flight to depart JAX at 10:30 a.m. and arrive at SJU at 1:26 p.m. In the other direction, the flight is timed to leave SJU at 2:10 p.m. and to land at JAX at 5:36 p.m.

“I am extremely pleased that JetBlue will now provide nonstop service from Jacksonville to San Juan,” said Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton. “Commerce with San Juan already provides an economic impact of more than $1 billion annually to Jacksonville. Both Cities will greatly benefit from the increased tourism and business travel this improved route will encourage. I look forward to welcoming visitors from our ‘Sister City’, who will now have a greater opportunity to spend time in our community.”
