NEW YORK, USA: US budget airline JetBlue Airways is currently conducting a feasibility study to examine potential destinations for new or increased air service in the Caribbean and Latin America.

The study is looking at 24 leisure destinations in the region, with JetBlue evaluating many factors such as existing traffic levels, future hotel development, airport rates and fees, slot availability and access to public and private sector partnerships.

"Ever since JetBlue touched down in the Caribbean some four years ago, our business in the region has grown tremendously thanks to the support of local communities and business leaders," said JetBlue's Vice President of Sales, Noreen Courtney-Wilds. "We look forward to expanding on that success by partnering with new and existing destinations to explore the possibility of new airline service to the United States."

JetBlue will offer more than 70 daily flights this winter to the region's top destinations including Aruba; Bermuda; Cancun, Mexico; Nassau, Bahamas; Aguadilla, Ponce, and San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Puerto Plata, Santiago and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

The airline is consistently noted as a leader in customer service and customer satisfaction and operates its award-winning service with a modern fleet of 150-seat Airbus A320 and 100-seat EMBRAER 190 aircraft complete with industry-leading legroom, all-leather seating, and seatback televisions.
