In a bid to broaden its network, JetBlue Airways Corporation JBLU is planning to offer new nonstop services from Buffalo and Syracuse. JetBlue announced new nonstop service from Buffalo (BUF) to both Fort Myers (RSW) and San Juan (SJU), coupled with new service between Syracuse (SYR) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL) starting in March.
The new routes have been made available for purchase on jetblue.com with limited-time introductory fares. These include Buffalo to Fort Myers starting at $59 one-way, Buffalo to San Juan starting at $99 one-way, and Syracuse to Fort Lauderdale starting at $59 one-way.
JetBlue’s latest service additions underscore the airline’s continued commitment to investing in and widening its network across Upstate and Western New York. The announcement follows the carrier’s recently unveiled plan to introduce flights between Rochester (ROC) and Orlando (MCO).
Taken together, these expansions highlight JetBlue’s dedication to offering low fares and improved service throughout New York, strengthening regional connectivity and broadening travel options for local customers. This should strengthen the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock’s competitive position in the airline industry. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Customers across the Upstate area know and trust JetBlue for our low fares and the experience we deliver like our comfortable onboard seating, free high-speed Wi-Fi, free seatback entertainment, and the caring, award-winning service our crewmembers provide. We’re excited to bring more of what travelers love about JetBlue to Buffalo and Syracuse.”
