JetBlue proudly declares the official commencement of its latest route connecting Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Tallahassee International Airport (TLH). The inaugural flight touched down in Tallahassee this morning, marking the beginning of JetBlue’s intrastate service. This daily service aims to bring passengers the renowned JetBlue experience, characterized by award-winning service, affordable fares, and an enhanced travel alternative for a route currently with limited competition.
We are delighted to bring much-needed competition and affordability to a route that has been plagued by high fares for decades,” declared Robert Land, Head of Government Affairs and Associate General Counsel at JetBlue. “This new route underscores our dedication to the Sunshine State, offering low fares, excellent service, and enhanced connectivity for customers traveling between Fort Lauderdale, Tallahassee, and beyond.”
Enhancing Florida’s Connectivity
JetBlue currently operates in key Florida cities like Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Miami, West Palm Beach, Key West, Jacksonville, Fort Myers, Sarasota/Bradenton, and Tampa. With the commencement of service to Tallahassee, JetBlue now serves over 40 destinations from Fort Lauderdale.
“I am thrilled to see additional travel options for Floridians journeying between South Florida and our state capital,” expressed United States Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz. “I hope this marks the beginning of connecting all parts of our state to Florida’s crucial seat of government and the broader region through the heart of South Florida at FLL.”
Mark Gale, CEO/Director of Aviation at FLL, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “We celebrate JetBlue’s launch of nonstop jet service from Fort Lauderdale to Tallahassee, fulfilling the long-standing desire for more flight options on this route. This is a fantastic way to kick off 2024, and we anticipate continued collaboration with JetBlue for future growth at FLL.”
Linking South Florida to the State Capital
The accessibility of Tallahassee is vital due to its role as the Florida state capital and home to major universities. However, its distance from South Florida makes it challenging for easy travel by car. JetBlue’s daily service provides an affordable and comfortable option for those traveling for business, education, or leisure, facilitating connections in Fort Lauderdale to other JetBlue destinations.
“I am thrilled that Broward residents now have another option to travel to our State Capital without unnecessary detours,” expressed Florida State Representative Chip LaMarca. “Those of us representing Broward can now reach Tallahassee on JetBlue at a reasonable cost, eliminating the need for a seven-hour drive.”
Tallahassee International Airport, owned and operated by the City of Tallahassee, remains committed to providing a fast, friendly, and convenient travel experience. Ongoing investments by the City have positioned Tallahassee International Airport as a significant economic driver in North Florida. With new air service and infrastructure projects underway, including the International Processing Facility, TLH is poised to serve one million passengers in 2024.
“I’m thrilled to celebrate the commencement of JetBlue’s direct, daily service between Florida’s capital city and Fort Lauderdale,” said City of Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey. “Intra-state travel is an economic driver, and our airport’s partnership with JetBlue provides a convenient connection to and from South Florida for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.”
