The crew base to support inflight crew members opened today while San Juan-based pilots are expected to join in early 2025. Located in Terminal A at San Juan’s airport, the base will allow crew members to begin and end trips from the island, supporting the airline’s operations in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and beyond and ensure these workgroups can quickly respond in the event of operational disruptions. The crew base follows the opening of JetBlue’s Tech Ops maintenance base in San Juan in 2020.
JetBlue has been serving Puerto Rico for more than 22 years and flies to 18 destinations from the island. With over 50 daily departures in peak periods this winter, JetBlue’s recent network growth has created an additional 70 new jobs, bringing its team to more than 800 crew members by 2025 across San Juan, Aguadilla, and Ponce.
