JetBlue to Launch Winter-Season Syracuse-Fort Lauderdale Service

JetBlue Airways will launch winter and early-spring seasonal service between Syracuse Hancock International Airport and Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport on January 13.

The carrier will operate daily round-trips from January 13 through May 1, 2016.

JetBlue Airways has a two-aircraft-type fleet, which includes a large number of Embraer 190s (like the one seen here) as well as Airbus A320s

JetBlue’s schedule for the route will see flight B6 1738 depart Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (IATA code FLL) at 11:30 a.m. from January 13 through May 1 and arrive at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) at 2:33 p.m.

In the other direction, flight B6 1737 will leave SYR at 3:10 p.m. and land at FLL at 6:31 p.m.

JetBlue will operate the route with 100-seat Embraer 190s, each offering two-by-two seat rows.

Headquartered in New York, JetBlue Airports first began operating flights from Syracuse in 2001 and now serves eight airports throughout New York State.

JetBlue Airways took delivery of its first Embraer 190 on September 13, 2005. The airline, which was the launch customer for the Embraer 190 and operates the type in a 100-seat configuration, has ordered more than 80 Embraer 190s and continues to take delivery of aircraft from its orders

Albany is set to become the airline’s ninth destination in New York State in December.

This year JetBlue will operate up to 95 flights daily at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, which serves as one of JetBlue’s Florida gateways.

The airline now serves destinations such as Bogota and Lima from Fort Lauderdale and will launch service from FLL to Mexico City and Quito in the coming months.
