As One of South Florida’s Largest Carriers,
JetBlue Brings Year-Round Service to Tallahassee Introducing its
Low Fares and Great Service to Customers Traveling To and From the
State Capital
To Celebrate Launch, Limited $49 One-Way Fares
Available Online Only on JetBlue.com
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced it has officially
launched service between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Airport (FLL) and Tallahassee International Airport (TLH), with the
first flight arriving in Tallahassee this morning. JetBlue’s new
intrastate service will operate daily, introducing the airline’s
award-winning service, low fares and a better travel option for
customers on a route with limited competition.
“We are thrilled to introduce much needed competition and relief
to a route that has suffered from high fares for decades,” said
Robert Land, head of government affairs, associate general counsel,
JetBlue. “This new route further demonstrates our commitment to the
Sunshine state and to providing low fares, great service and
connectivity to customers in Fort Lauderdale, Tallahassee and
beyond.”
Increasing Florida’s Interconnectivity
In Florida, JetBlue currently offers service in its focus cities
of Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, as well as in Miami, West Palm
Beach, Key West, Jacksonville, Fort Myers, Sarasota/Bradenton and
Tampa. Within the state, JetBlue currently offers flights from Fort
Lauderdale to Jacksonville. With Tallahassee service starting
today, JetBlue will now serve over 40 destinations from Fort
Lauderdale.
“I am very pleased to see additional commercial options for
Floridians to travel between South Florida and our state capital,”
stated United States Representative, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. “I
hope this is only the beginning of connecting all parts of our
state to Florida’s critical seat of government and the rest of the
region through the heart of South Florida here at FLL.”
"We celebrate JetBlue's launch of nonstop jet service from Fort
Lauderdale to Tallahassee as frequent fliers on this route have
long desired more flight options for travel between these two
Florida destinations," said Mark Gale, FLL CEO/Director of
Aviation. "This is a great way to start 2024, and we look forward
to continued collaboration with JetBlue as it eyes additional
growth at FLL for the future."
Connecting South Florida to the State Capital
Convenient travel to Tallahassee is essential, given its
critical role as the Florida state capital and as home to major
universities; however, its distance from South Florida puts it just
too far to easily drive. JetBlue’s daily service offers those
travelling back and forth for business or education an affordable
and comfortable option, while also creating opportunities for both
leisure and business customers traveling from Tallahassee to
connect in Fort Lauderdale to other JetBlue destinations.
“I am beyond elated that Broward residents have another option
to travel to our State Capital without having to start in another
county or travel to another state before getting there,” stated
Florida State Representative, Chip LaMarca. “Those of us who
represent the people of Broward can now get to Tallahassee on
JetBlue at a reasonable cost, without contemplating a seven-hour
drive.”
Tallahassee International Airport, owned and operated by the
City of Tallahassee, is committed to delivering an exceptional way
to fly with a fast, friendly and convenient travel experience.
Focused investments by the City have grown Tallahassee
International Airport into one of the largest economic drivers in
the North Florida region. With the addition of new air service and
major infrastructure projects underway, including the International
Processing Facility, TLH is on track to serve one million
passengers in 2024.
“I’m thrilled to celebrate the beginning of JetBlue’s direct,
daily service between Florida’s capital city and Fort Lauderdale.
We look forward to extending a warm welcome to passengers who enjoy
this new air service option at Tallahassee International Airport,”
said City of Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey. “Intra-state travel is
a driver for our economy and our airport’s partnership with JetBlue
provides a convenient connection to and from South Florida that
will benefit residents and visitors alike.”
