The Hon Owen K Darrell, Minister of Tourism & Transport, Culture & Sport attended a meeting with executives from Jet Blue. The meeting took place during the Minister's stopover in New York, NY, (therefore, airfare is nil) and he was accompanied by the Permanent Secretary of Tourism & Transport, Culture & Sport as well as representatives from the Bermuda Tourism Authority and the Bermuda Airport Authority.
This productive meeting allowed the team to present the expected increase in tourism products, including a significate increase in the number of available hotel rooms, and confirm Bermuda's commitment to partnering with Jet Blue in the future to promote air service development to the island.
With 2026 on the horizon, air service development is vital to the growth of tourism, and continued engagement with airlines is essential.
