Low-cost carriers Breeze Airways and Avelo Airlines are set to compete head-to-head at Tweed Regional Airport in Connecticut, offering travelers more choices and potentially lower prices. Breeze’s expansion into New Haven will bring direct flights to popular East Coast destinations, challenging Avelo’s current dominance at the airport.
In a strategic move to strengthen its presence in the Caribbean travel market, JetBlue is significantly expanding its operations in Puerto Rico, introducing flights to six new destinations from San Juan. The expansion is part of JetBlue’s response to Frontier Airlines’ aggressive expansion in the region. JetBlue aims to solidify its status as the leading airline in Puerto Rico and enhance the quality of its services with the introduction of a daily Mint service from JFK to San Juan. Frontier Airlines is also enhancing its presence in Puerto Rico, positioning San Juan as a hub for flights to the United States and the Caribbean. Both airlines’ expansions will lead to increased flight options, competitive pricing, and improved service quality for consumers. The competition is expected to stimulate travel and enhance connectivity between the Caribbean and mainland United States, benefiting Puerto Rico’s tourism industry.
