JetBlue Airways will begin offering nonstop flights from Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) to New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) starting this October, the airline announced Wednesday.
“New York is one of the most popular destinations on the East Coast for Northeast Florida travelers,” Jacksonville Aviation Authority CEO Mark VanLoh said in an email to WJCT News. He said passengers will “have more options and will see lower fares.”
JetBlue already offers non-stop flights from Jacksonville to JFK International and Newark Liberty International airports in the New York City area, and the airline began flying non-stop between Jacksonville and Los Angeles International on March 25.
