JetBlue launches service for the first time in Manchester, N.H.

JetBlue customers can now get to Florida from Manchester, N.H.

The airline launched service for the first time from New Hampshire’s Manchester-Boston Regional Airport on Thursday, its 10th New England airport. Travelers can fly nonstop to three Florida destinations out of Manchester on JetBlue: Orlando, Fort Myers, and Fort Lauderdale.

On Thursday, the airline began daily, year-round service to Orlando International Airport and three times weekly, seasonal service to Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers. On Friday, JetBlue will add four times weekly seasonal service to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

Manchester customers fly on JetBlue’s A320 aircraft. 

“New Hampshire, at long last and after years of discussions, you can proudly say, ‘Welcome, JetBlue!’” said Ted Kitchens, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport director, in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome New England’s leading leisure carrier to MHT. Our passengers have been asking for JetBlue to come to the Airport for many years, and today, we’re thrilled to celebrate their launch of nonstop flights to three Florida destinations. Thank you, JetBlue, for your partnership and investment into Manchester and the state of New Hampshire. We look forward to a strong partnership going forward.”

Those interested can book flights on jetblue.com.

JetBlue recently added new summer seasonal service at Logan Airport as part of its strategy to build the best East Coast leisure network.
