Самые загруженные международные маршруты JetBlue Airways в 2025 году, №7 вас удивит

JetBlue Airways (B6) has long been known for redefining low-cost air travel in the United States, but over the years, it has steadily expanded its international footprint. With an emphasis on high-frequency leisure and VFR (visiting friends and relatives) routes, the airline’s international operations now span the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe.

From bustling gateways like New York-JFK and Fort Lauderdale to sun-soaked islands and Central American capitals, JetBlue’s busiest international routes reveal the airline’s strategic focus areas and market strengths.

Let’s explore the top 20 busiest international routes flown by JetBlue, ranked by frequency, and grouped by their underlying strategic themes. Note that each direction of a round-trip is considered one flight, so return flights are counted as a separate flight.

Dominican Republic Routes

JetBlue’s dominance in the Dominican Republic is hard to miss. Four of its top five busiest international routes serve the Caribbean nation, underlining its massive appeal to both tourists and the Dominican diaspora in the United States.

Leading the pack is the New York-JFK to Santiago (STI) route, clocking in with 372 monthly flights, nearly 65,000 seats, and over 95 million ASMs (Available Seat Miles). This is followed closely by JFK to Santo Domingo (SDQ) with 310 flights and over 52,000 seats. These routes reflect the deep VFR demand connecting New York’s sizable Dominican-American population to the island.

JetBlue also flies high-frequency service to Punta Cana (PUJ) from JFK, operating 238 flights and offering 42,568 seats between the two destinations. Punta Cana is the Caribbean’s most visited destination, and JetBlue capitalizes on that with strong connectivity.

Other key routes include Boston to Santo Domingo, with 125 flights and over 20,000 seats, and Santo Domingo to San Juan, a regional hop with significant local demand.

Caribbean Connections from JFK

Beyond the Dominican Republic, JetBlue’s JFK base supports a wide range of Caribbean routes. Notably, the airline serves Kingston (KIN), Jamaica, with 164 flights and over 26,000 seats, making it one of the most trafficked Caribbean routes from New York. Montego Bay (MBJ) is also served from JFK, with 124 flights and 22,444 seats.

Aruba (AUA) also appears twice in the top 20: once with 144 flights from JFK and again with 190 flights from Boston, combining for over 61,000 seats. Aruba’s consistent demand among U.S. vacationers supports these high frequencies, with ASMs exceeding 72 million from Boston alone.

JetBlue’s transatlantic presence is growing, too. While JFK to London Heathrow (LHR) appears lower in terms of flight count, it contributes significantly in ASMs – nearly 59 million – thanks to the long-haul nature of the route and Airbus A321LR utilization.

Florida as a Caribbean Gateway

Fort Lauderdale (FLL), JetBlue’s second-largest hub, plays a pivotal role in its international network. The airport is a gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America, and five routes from FLL make it into JetBlue’s top 20 busiest.

Fort Lauderdale to and from Nassau (NAS) leads in volume with 162 flights and over 25,000 seats. Although relatively short in distance (and hence low in ASMs), it’s a high-frequency leisure route.

JetBlue also operates 162 flights to and from Kingston, 156 to and from Montego Bay, and 62 to and from Punta Cana, all supporting Florida’s strong VFR and tourism markets. Another interesting entrant is FLL to Cancun (CUN), with 108 flights and 16,132 seats – further evidence of JetBlue’s appeal to beach-bound travelers.

Boston’s Winter Sun Reach

Boston Logan International Airport remains a strategic market for JetBlue, and its international footprint from BOS is largely focused on winter sun destinations. Aruba and Punta Cana top the list from Boston, with 190 and 128 flights, respectively.

The BOS-AUA route is notable for its high ASMs of over 72 million, making it one of JetBlue’s most significant international routes despite Boston’s secondary role. Similarly, BOS to Punta Cana delivers more than 34 million ASMs across 128 flights.

With 125 flights, Boston to Santo Domingo rounds out the city’s top international links, again demonstrating JetBlue’s Caribbean-VFR strength even outside of New York.

Cancun Is Everywhere

Cancun (CUN) appears five times in JetBlue’s top 20 list, underscoring its status as the ultimate Mexican leisure destination. Cancun routes don’t top the chart in terms of frequency but have a solid and consistent presence across JetBlue’s network.

The CUN to JFK link leads with 198 flights and 36,028 seats, translating into over 56 million ASMs. The Orlando to Cancun service appears with 124 flights and 22,268 seats, while FLL, Detroit, Houston, and New Orleans all offer varying levels of service to the Mexican hotspot.

Cancun’s consistent presence reveals its multi-market appeal—both as a family vacation getaway and as a spring break favorite. JetBlue clearly sees the value in spreading Cancun service across its bases.

San Juan Hub Connects the Islands

San Juan (SJU), JetBlue’s Caribbean focus city, is at the heart of regional connectivity. It plays a unique role compared to mainland hubs, serving as a bridge between U.S. cities and other Caribbean nations.

The PUJ to SJU route is one of JetBlue’s few intra-Caribbean services in the top 20, with 164 flights but relatively low ASMs (just over 4 million), reflecting its short length. The same is true for the SDQ to SJU route.

JetBlue’s strong presence in San Juan also supports connections to New York, Boston, and Florida, making it a valuable operational hub in the southern part of its network.

London and Long-Haul Ambitions

While most routes on JetBlue’s busiest international list are within North America and the Caribbean, the New York-JFK to London Heathrow service is an outlier. Though flown just 124 times in the period under review, the route’s ASM count is higher than many others that operate more frequently.

JetBlue’s entry into the transatlantic market represents a new chapter for the airline. With its premium Mint service and competitive pricing, the airline aims to shake up the traditionally high-cost U.S.–UK corridor.

As more A321LR and A321XLR aircraft join the fleet, JetBlue’s reach across the Atlantic could grow, potentially adding Paris, Amsterdam, or Dublin to future lists.

Final Thoughts

JetBlue’s busiest international routes offer a clear picture of where the airline thrives: high-demand Caribbean and Latin American markets with a blend of tourism and ethnic traffic. JFK remains the undisputed international hub, but Fort Lauderdale and Boston play vital complementary roles.

With new aircraft unlocking longer-range options, JetBlue’s future international growth could diversify even further. For now, however, its bread and butter remains the warm skies and sandy beaches of the Caribbean.
