JetBlue announces non-stop flights to Curaçao from JFK

Willemstad, Curaçao – JetBlue Airways has announced its new non-stop service from New York to Curaçao.  Beginning December 2, 2014, JetBlue will become the only airline to offer non-stop flights from New York to Curaçao.  In celebration of the new route, the airline is offering a limited-time introductory fare of $139 for travel each way to Curaçao for tickets purchased by August 6, 2014.*

“We have been working closely with the team at JetBlue to bring this flight to the island and are thrilled it has come to fruition and we’re able to announce it today,” said Curaçao’s Minister of Economic Development, Stanley Palm. “Curaçao continues to thrive as one of the Caribbean’s most diverse and culturally-rich islands and we look forward to now being able to share it with more visitors. New York is a top market for the island and we are confident that the new non-stop service on JetBlue will meet the demand we’ve seen from the northeast and international travelers alike.”
