JetBlue Bets Big on Fort Lauderdale With Push Toward 150 Daily Flights

JetBlue Bets Big on Fort Lauderdale as Spirit’s Collapse Reshapes the Airport

JetBlue is moving to claim the dominant position at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, accelerating an expansion that would make it the busiest carrier at one of South Florida’s primary gateways. The airline is building toward roughly 150 daily flights, a milestone its leadership frames as a floor rather than a ceiling, in a bet that hinges on the unraveling of Spirit Airlines and JetBlue’s ambition to challenge the industry’s largest carriers in Florida.

Everglades Wildfire Burns 11,000 Acres Near Miami Metro as Smoke Warnings Spread

A fast-moving Everglades wildfire has burned approximately 11,000 acres just outside the Miami metropolitan area, straddling the line between Miami-Dade and Broward counties and forcing local officials to issue dangerous-smoke warnings for nearby residents. The Max Road Miramar Fire is the most significant blaze of an active and stressful Florida wildfire season, and its proximity to densely populated suburbs has made the response especially urgent.
