The celebration and growth continue this afternoon, as JetBlue also marks the start of flights from Puerto Rico’s vibrant capital to the stunning island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, further solidifying its investment in the Caribbean.\nJetBlue’s newly opened San Juan crew base is set to bring more than 400 crewmember jobs to Puerto Rico, with more than 100 pilots and more than 300 inflight crewmembers (flight attendants) set to be assigned to the base by next year. The crew base to support inflight crewmembers opened today while San Juan-based pilots are expected to join in early 2025. Located in Terminal A at San Juan’s airport, the base will allow crewmembers to begin and end trips from the island, supporting the airline’s operations in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and beyond and ensure these workgroups can quickly respond in the event of operational disruptions. The crew base follows the opening of JetBlue’s Tech Ops maintenance base in San Juan in 2020.\n\"We are proud to celebrate this important milestone in Puerto Rico,\" said Warren Christie, chief operating officer at JetBlue. \"The new crew base reinforces our commitment to investing in the communities we serve, creating opportunities for crewmembers in San Juan and for those who want to return home to the island, while expanding our network to meet the growing demand for travel to the Caribbean and beyond.\"\n\"We celebrate that JetBlue continues to bet on Puerto Rico. We are proud of this strategic alliance with Puerto Rico, reinforcing the airline’s commitment to the island and its people.

Pierluisi.\n\"Providing reliable and affordable travel options to customers is a key part of the development of the tourism sector and we are very excited to be part of this new phase of JetBlue’s history in Puerto Rico. The opening of this crew base confirms the airline’s commitment to Puerto Rico, and enhances both the increase in frequency of flights to all the airports of the island, as well as new opportunities to continue expanding the network from domestic and international markets that benefit the local economy,\" said Carlos Mercado Santiago, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company.\nJetBlue has been serving Puerto Rico for more than 22 years and flies to 18 destinations from the island.

With a thriving art scene and diverse adventures, St. Croix stands out as a relaxing Caribbean escape.\n\"We are excited to reenter St. Croix, known for its rich history, stunning beaches, and great people,\" said Christie. \"Our new route between San Juan and St. Croix demonstrates our commitment to serving the Caribbean and connecting U.S. Virgin Islands residents to our San Juan focus city as well as the robust network we serve beyond it.\"\nSt. Croix joins St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands as part of JetBlue’s network.
