JetBlue expands Fort Lauderdale operations, hires former Spirit employees as service grows

JetBlue is expanding operations at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, increasing daily flights from 130 to 150 by year-end and hiring former Spirit Airlines employees. The airline aims to capture travelers following Spirit’s market exit, emphasizing affordable fares with added amenities like complimentary Wi-Fi and snacks, though not matching Spirit’s ultra-low pricing.
