JetBlue has launched a new service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Bonaire’s Flamingo International Airport which will operate twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

David Jehn from JetBlue said: "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. - Expanding our service in the Caribbean demonstrates our commitment to continue providing our customers exceptional travel options and experiences while promoting tourism and accessibility."

Located in the Leeward Antilles, Bonaire offers an authentic cultural experience for travellers. Earning its nickname “diver’s paradise,” Bonaire is known for its crystal-clear waters, exceptional scuba diving and snorkeling environment surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. The Dutch island offers world-class gastronomy, luxurious stays, outdoor adventures, animal sanctuaries, national parks, cactus-filled deserts and year-round sunshine, making it the perfect getaway to attract travellers.

"We are excited to celebrate the launch of this new direct flight from New York's JFK to Bonaire," said Maarten van der Scheer, CEO of Bonaire International Airport. "Welcoming JetBlue to Flamingo Airport, with a twice-weekly, year-round service, has been made possible through the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of many partners working toward the same goal: increasing connectivity to Bonaire and making it easier than ever for travellers to reach our beautiful island."
