NEW YORK - JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU), the $1.86 billion market cap airline currently trading at $5.12 per share, will expand its route network with new destinations and additional flights in key leisure markets, according to a press release issued Thursday. InvestingPro analysis indicates the airline is currently fairly valued, though operating with significant debt challenges.
The airline will begin its first-ever service to Vero Beach, Florida and return to Daytona Beach, Florida with daily year-round flights from both Boston Logan International Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport starting in December 2025. This expansion comes as the company faces financial headwinds, with InvestingPro data showing negative free cash flow and a concerning debt-to-equity ratio of 3.91.
The carrier will also launch new international routes connecting Tampa, Florida with Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and Fort Lauderdale with Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. Additionally, JetBlue will add seasonal service from Long Island MacArthur Airport to both Fort Myers and Tampa, Florida.
"Florida continues to be a place JetBlue’s unique combination of low fares and great service resonates," said Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s vice president of network planning and airline partnerships.
The Vero Beach and Daytona Beach services will commence on December 11 and December 4, 2025, respectively. The Tampa to Punta Cana route will begin December 18, while Fort Lauderdale to Santiago de los Caballeros will start December 13.
JetBlue is also strengthening its Boston focus city by increasing service to four Caribbean and Latin American destinations: St. Thomas, Liberia (Costa Rica), St. Maarten, and Nassau (Bahamas). Each route will operate daily flights starting December 18, 2025. The airline will also add second Saturday flights to Grand Cayman and Bridgetown, Barbados.
With these additions, JetBlue will offer the most flights from Boston to the Caribbean and Florida this winter, with nearly double the number of seats between Boston and Florida compared to previous service.
