The airline JetBlue has announced it will now fly to the southern Caribbean island Bonaire from New York JFK, offering the only nonstop option between the two.
The flights will go from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to Bonaire’s Flamingo International Airport on a twice-weekly round trip service on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Now, the airline offers flights to the three ABC Islands, Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, as well as to St. Maarten. To celebrate the new addition to its roster, JetBlue launched a select number of fares for $99 for a limited time.
“Renowned for its natural beauty, pristine beaches, and warm hospitality, we are excited to launch service to Bonaire, introducing a new destination and more travel options to our customers looking for a Caribbean getaway,” said David Jehn, vice president of network planning and airline partnerships at JetBlue, in a company press release.
“Expanding our service in the Caribbean demonstrates our commitment to continue providing our customers exceptional travel options and experiences while promoting tourism and accessibility.”
Bonaire can now be reached directly from New York JFK Airport through JetBlue
The route will be taken on the airlines’ Airbus A320 aircraft and represents a further push into expanding its presence in the Caribbean.
The island is known for its crystal-clear waters, with it being a great destination for scuba diving and snorkeling – especially with its vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. Going beyond that, Bonaire has incredible gastronomy, national parks and year-round sunshine.
The CEO at the Tourism Corporation Bonaire, Miles Mercera, welcomed JetBlue in the press release: “Welcoming JetBlue as an airline partner marks a significant step in our commitment to making our beautiful island more accessible to North American travelers.”
“This expansion not only reflects the growing interest in our region, but also showcases our dedication to fostering tourism and welcoming visitors to experience the unique culture and stunning landscapes we have to offer. Together, we’re paving the way for new adventures and unforgettable memories.”
