There’s something almost magical about Belize. Perhaps it’s the picture-perfect Caribbean waters or the wealth of diverse wildlife you’ll find nowhere else. It might be the friendly locals, the rich history, or the tantalizing local cuisine. Whatever it is, it’s about to get a whole lot easier to discover, thanks to a new announcement from JetBlue Airlines.

The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) and JetBlue, New York’s Hometown Airline®, have just unveiled plans for the first-ever nonstop service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Belize’s Phillip S.W. Goldson. This pioneering flight service will mark New York as the 11th U.S. city offering direct access to the beauty and allure of the Central American nation.

JetBlue will offer roundtrip flights three times a week, scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. The inaugural flight is set to depart on Dec. 6, 2023, opening a whole new route to paradise for US travelers.

Belize is an increasingly popular destination for American adventurers, with over 68% of all overnight arrivals to the country coming from the United States as of April 2023. With the launch of JetBlue’s nonstop service, that number is only expected to increase, promising dynamic growth for the Belizean tourism industry.

Belize’s biodiversity is astonishing. It’s home to the largest Barrier Reef in the Northern and Western Hemispheres, countless indigenous cultures, and mesmerizing Maya caves. You can explore lush tropical jungles teeming with unique wildlife, relax by pristine Caribbean waters, or delve into the depths of mystical aquatic habitats. This country has something for every type of traveler, whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover, or an adrenaline junkie. And as the only English-speaking country in the region where the U.S. dollar is widely accepted, it’s an incredibly convenient choice for US vacationers.

This new flight path will undeniably make the enchantment of Belize more accessible than ever for Americans. As David Jehn, vice president of network planning and partnerships at JetBlue, stated, the airline looks forward to “introducing our low fares and great service to Belize customers but also providing access to all the cities we serve from New York.”

Belize is a country that invites exploration, invites wonder and invites you. Discover its beauty, indulge in its tranquillity, and immerse yourself in its vibrant culture.
