JetBlue Crew Base Opens In San Juan

Expected To Generate Over 400 Jobs By Next Year

JetBLue is the largest commercial air carrier serving Puerto Rico and it has just celebrated the opening of a crew base at the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (IATA: SJU, ICAO: TJSJ) in San Juan. The base is JetBlue’s first outside the continental U.S. and will bring several hundred jobs to the city.

The celebration also marked the start of flights from Puerto Rico’s capital to the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands and further reinforces its investment in the Caribbean.

The base will bring with it more than 400 crewmember jobs as 100 pilots and over 300 cabin crew (flight attendants) will be assigned to the base during 2025. The flight attendant crew base is already open and the pilot base will open when the 100 pilots arrive in early 2025.

The base will be located in Terminal A and will allow crewmembers to begin and end trips from the island to support the airline’s operations in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and beyond. Being based on the island will enable those work groups to respond quickly to any operational disruptions that might arise. The crew base comes after the opening of JetBlue’s Tech Ops maintenance base in San Juan in 2020.

Warren Christie, COO at JetBlue said, “We are proud to celebrate this important milestone in Puerto Rico. The new crew base reinforces our commitment to investing in the communities we serve, creating opportunities for crewmembers in San Juan and for those who want to return home to the island, while expanding our network to meet the growing demand for travel to the Caribbean and beyond.”

Puerto Rico Governor Pedro R. Pierluisi was in good spirits as well: “We celebrate that JetBlue continues to bet on Puerto Rico. We are proud of this strategic alliance with Puerto Rico, reinforcing the airline’s commitment to the island and its people. Our tourism had record growth numbers over the past four years, and this is one more sign that good news continue for our people.”
