"We are proud to support the strong business and family ties between Hartford and San Juan with this new nonstop service," said John Checketts, director of route planning for JetBlue Airways. "JetBlue thinks the flight should be an enjoyable part of the journey, from the most legroom in coach to unlimited name brand snacks, and your own personal entertainment choices. We would like to thank the communities in Connecticut and Puerto Rico for their strong support of JetBlue."

"The mutual commitment between JetBlue and Bradley continues to grow. New travel options opening new destinations draw more customers, which benefits everyone," said Mary Ellen Jones, Chair of the Connecticut Airport Authority. "With Connecticut's special ties to Puerto Rico, I am confident that this non-stop service to San Juan will add another chapter to JetBlue's success story in our state."

"Puerto Rico had a 4.1 percent increase in tourists during the fiscal year 2010-2011, as measured by hotel registrations. For the 2011-2012 season, we expect better results with more visitors heading this way to discover why Puerto Rico does it better.
