JetBlue, the New York-based airline, has announced two new routes from Worcester Regional Airport (ORH) in Massachusetts. The statement was released in coordination with the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport).
The first route from Worcester, MA, is to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers, FL, and is launching this upcoming winter. The other destination is Orlando Sanford International Airport (MCO), which is beginning this upcoming summer.
Robin Hayes, the Chief Executive Officer of JetBlue, spoke about the new routes, saying, “We are proud to introduce even more options to connect our Massachusetts customers to the places they want to fly with more nonstop Florida service from Worcester. Customers can now much more easily travel back and forth to Florida with JetBlue’s low fares and award-winning service, including with daily flights to Fort Myers during the Red Sox Spring Training.”
New routes for Central Massachusetts
These two new routes mean that JetBlue will serve a total of three Florida-based airports from Worcester Regional Airport. The other Florida destination is Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).
The Worcester Regional Airport has seen an increase in demand from customers. This is most likely due to the airport’s central location with renovated terminals and curbside drop-off and pick-up. The airport also only charges $7 per day for parking.
