JetBlue Inaugurates Hartford – San Juan Connection

US carrier JetBlue Airways has launched flights between Hartford-Springfield's Bradley International Airport and San Juan's Luis Munoz Marin International Airport. The airline is offering a daily schedule on the route, the inaugural flight being operated on January 5, 2012.

"We are proud to support the strong business and family ties between Hartford and San Juan with this new non-stop service," said John Checketts, Director of Route Planning, JetBlue Airways. Puerto Rico had a 4.1 per cent increase in tourist arrivals in 2010/2011 fiscal year and tourist officials expect this figure to grow in the subsequent two years.

San Juan will be JetBlue's third nonstop destination offered from Bradley, New England's second-largest airport, in addition to its twice daily service to both Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Florida.
