Why it matters
The introduction of BlueFirst allows passengers to book premium services starting as low as $249 one-way. JetBlue Airways is projecting an operation of 150 flights a day by 2027, positioning Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport as a major hub. This expansion follows JetBlue Airways taking the No. 1 spot in passenger traffic at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International after Spirit Airlines ceased operations in May.
