JetBlue Airways is sending two new aircraft to Florida’s Emerald Coast. The US low-cost carrier announced the launch of two routes to Destin – Fort Walton Beach from its two hubs in Boston and New York.
This seasonal service, scheduled to begin on March 5, 2026, will operate five times a week.
JetBlue will likely use its 162-seat A320 or its 200-seat A321 to operate these two flights.
“This daily nonstop service strengthens our domestic network and offers our passengers departing from the northeastern United States numerous connecting flights from Destin–Fort Walton, as well as our passengers on the Emerald Coast who will benefit from more options for flying to the Northeast region,” said Dave Jehn, Vice President of JetBlue.
