JetBlue Comes To Worcester
After months of anticipation, JetBlue announced it is scheduled to fly out of Worcester's ORH.
According to the airline’s website, flights from Worcester will begin soon with destinations to Austin, TX (AUS); Fort Lauderdale, FL (FLL); Santo Domingo, DR (SDQ); Orlando, FL (MCO); Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ); Bogota, Columbia; San Juan, PR (SJU); and Nassau, Bahamas (NAS).
The solidified deal comes after a long process of courting the area, as officials visited the regional airport multiple times, over the last year.

JetBlue's announcement is great news for the airport, which has struggled since the departure of Direct Air in March, 2012. The fledgling airline was the only carrier at Worcester Airport.
