JetBlue is expanding its footprint at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport after Spirit Airlines ceased operations, leaving thousands of travelers stranded over the weekend.

In response to Spirit’s “wind-down,” JetBlue announced it will offer reduced “rescue” fares and expand service at Broward’s largest airport.

JetBlue said the expansion will mark its largest schedule out of FLL, with nearly 130 daily departures expected this summer, “over 75% more daily flights than 2025.”
