JetBlue Adds Flights to Curacao from New York Starting in April

WILLEMSTAD – Dec. 2022 – Up, up and away from the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) following the announcement that beginning Apr. 6, 2023, JetBlue will add two additional flights from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York, increasing the non-stop route from 3 days a week to 5 days. The added service comes as a result of a steadily growing demand from the U.S. market as well as a longstanding and proven partnership with JetBlue and local stakeholders such as Curaçao Airport Partners (CAP), Curaçao Airport Holding (CAH) and Curaçao Hospitality & Tourism Association (CHATA).www.curacao.com/en/

In the last year, Curaçao has experienced increased demand out of the U.S. market, and the momentum continues with a 20% projected increase in American visitors from 2022 to 2023. This increase is largely due to the openings of several new resorts, along with the rebranding and renovating of existing resorts across the island. “The increase in the development of several properties, backed by the world’s premier hospitality brands, has helped to make our island better known abroad, and the increased flight service of JetBlue will surely assist in complying with this demand,” added the Minister of Economic Development, Ruisandro Cijntje .www.curacao.com/en/
