The inauguration of airline routes is always exciting. Between March 11—when this article was researched and written—and March 15, American Airlines, Breeze, Frontier, and JetBlue will introduce 14 new and returning links.
Subject to colorful and captivating celebratory images, some will make next week’s notable new routes article (see the latest edition). Each week, this article—which is also sent out as a newsletter to 70,000+ subscribers—looks at a handful of subjectively exciting new services from around the world.
American & Breeze’s Six Additions
As shown below, five of the additions are operated by Breeze, while just one is provided by 
American. Given how much Breeze focuses on the Eastern US, it is perhaps surprising that four of its five additions are in the Western US. One reason is that it replaced Avelo on some of them.
As part of Breeze’s latest expansion, two new airports have joined its network. They are Arcata/Eureka and Redmond. Aircraft and crew based in Provo operate Provo-Las Vegas-Arcata/Eureka-Las Vegas-Provo, Provo-Las Vegas-Redmond-Las Vegas-Provo, and Provo-Burbank-Arcata/Eureka-Burbank-Provo.

Frontier & JetBlue Will Begin These Eight Routes
The list includes six airport pairs that Frontier will introduce in this period, but which will only exist in March. Given their time-limited nature, the value of such routes to this article is debatable, although they are bookable. To help with this, only those markets with at least two departures are included.
Notice JetBlue between Fort Lauderdale, which Cirium Diio shows is the carrier’s third-busiest airport by departures this month, and Dallas/Fort Worth. It is a brand-new route in the carrier’s network. Given that JetBlue’s Boston-Dallas service ends on March 11, its new operation from Florida means it will continue to serve the Texas city.

JetBlue Reintroduces Jacksonville-San Juan Flights After 12 Years
According to US Department of Transportation data, 72,000 round-trip passengers—around 197 daily—flew between Jacksonville and San Juan between November 2024 and October 2025. It was the Puerto Rican capital’s 30th most popular market to/from the Lower 48.
JetBlue will reintroduce flights on March 13. When it does so, it will face Frontier, which has had the market to itself since 2021. It’ll be the first time that the city pair, which covers 1,119 nautical miles (2,072 km) each way, has had two operators. Oddly, the DOT shows that Frontier only filled 69.4% of seats in the past year. Will it now pull out? Or will both airlines suffer?
