JetBlue wants to offer Mexico City-Florida flights.
More airline flights between Mexico and the United States are coming in December courtesy of Volaris, and there might be more still if JetBlue gets approval from U.S. transportation authorities.
Volaris, a low-cost Mexican carrier, will begin offering direct service between Mexico City and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on December 1 and between Guadalajara and Fort Lauderdale on December 4.
The Mexico City flights will operate three times a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The Guadalajara flights will run Thursday and Sunday.
Census data shows 66% of Fort Lauderdale/Miami residents are of Hispanic or Latin American descent — more than 2.3 million people — which was one draw for Volaris.
JetBlue, a U.S.-based low-cost airline, wants to offer direct service between Mexico City and Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Florida. It would fly twice daily from Fort Lauderdale and once a day from Orlando, using a 150-seat Airbus A320.
If approved by the U.S. Department of Transport, service would begin around next June.
