JetBlue is adding new summer seasonal service in Boston as part of its strategy to build the best East Coast leisure network.

The airline recently announced that it will add five new destinations to its route map this summer: from Logan Airport to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Traverse City, Mich., Wilmington, N.C., and Norfolk and from New York’s JFK to San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

Once-daily summer service between Boston and Wilmington, N.C. and Norfolk will begin on April 30, three-times-weekly summer service to Traverse City, Mich. will begin on June 5, and once-daily summer service to Halifax, Canada will begin on June 26. The year-round, once-daily route to San Pedro Sula, Honduras from New York begins on June 12.

The routes will complement the airline’s new European destinations, Madrid and Edinburgh, which were announced in December. The Boston to Edinburgh route, which begins in May, was named one of the most exciting new airline routes for 2025.

The new routes mean JetBlue will offer an “industry-leading 77 nonstop destinations from Boston, more than any other airline,” according to the airline.

JetBlue is also increasing connectivity between Boston and New York by adding once-daily seasonal service between Boston and Islip, N.Y., beginning on April 30.

“We continue to focus on growing our leisure network in Boston by introducing more incredible new summer seasonal markets,” said Daniel Shurz, JetBlue’s head of revenue, network, and enterprise planning, in a statement. “We know customers across New England love taking advantage of JetBlue’s great service and competitive fares for their summer vacations, and we think each of these will be extremely popular for our loyal customers in the region.”
