JetBlue Announces New Orlando-Santo Domingo Service
Published by AirlineFanatic | Filed under discount airlines, jetblue airways
Well news from JetBlue hasn’t been so great of late, what with their stock hitting all time lows, and the departure of long time CFO John Harvey. But all is not lost thankfully as today they’ve put out a press release announcing new service between Orlando and Santo Domingo, DR.
This newest route is the latest in a slew of new service announcements from Florida. It seems that with the delicate political situation around schedules at JFK, JetBlue doesn’t want to add any more fuel to the fire. The beneficiaries of this have been Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando, which will see six other routes added as well in the coming months.
Also of note in this announcement is the fact the route will be operated using the E190, the first time that aircraft will be used outside the US by JetBlue. It certainly makes sense to use a smaller aircraft for what will probably be a low volume route for JetBlue, but also indicates they are now more confident in their new aircraft.
Here are the nitty gritty details: service starts on March 6th of next year, with introductory fares starting at $79 each way, then raising to between $99 and $349 each way under normal operation. For now the flight will operate once daily between MCO and SDQ.
