JetBlue returned to its pre-Hurricane Maria level of flight service to Puerto Rico, seeing increased demand amid the island’s recovery.

“Our return to our pre-hurricane flight count is a testament to the incredible resilience of Puerto Rico and our crewmembers who kept flights operating during a very difficult period,” Dave Clark, vice president sales and revenue management, JetBlue, said in a statement.

JetBlue reportedly hired 50 new crewmembers for its San Juan (SJU) flights, just in time for the peak summer travel season. The airline has around 500 crew based in Puerto Rico, supporting 48 daily flights to 13 cities in the United States and the Caribbean.

JetBlue supported the island’s recovery, launching initiatives to provide for the island’s immediate needs as well as building long-term partnerships to help support the return of tourism and invest in the island’s future.

“We are honored to be the airline that brings Puerto Rican families together and transports tourists to the beautiful beaches and attractions of this great region. We will continue to partner with the Puerto Rico Tourism Company to bring back tourism to this beautiful island,” said Clark.

“The best way to celebrate JetBlue’s 16th anniversary on the island is precisely by receiving the passengers that mark the total stabilization of service of Puerto Rico’s main airline,” Carla G. Campos, executive director, Puerto Rico Tourism Company, said in a statement. “The fact that JetBlue has been able to match seat capacity levels to pre-hurricane figures six months earlier than expected, shows that demand has increased and that we are on track for a historic recovery.”
