Aviation Week reported that Frontier Airlines submitted a request to Colombia's Aeronáutica Civil to operate daily flights from Orlando International Airport to Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena, and Cali. [^1]

JetBlue Airways confirmed it will discontinue its nonstop service between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and Antigua and Barbuda later this year. [^2]

Spirit Airlines ceased operations in May 2026 after failing to complete a financial rescue, leaving a significant gap in air capacity between Florida and Colombia. [^3]

The proposal includes seven weekly frequencies on each of the four routes, totaling 56 weekly flights (28 from Orlando to Colombia and 28 return) between Orlando and the four Colombian cities. [^4]

The request is still under review by Colombia's Aeronáutica Civil and has not been approved, so the frequencies do not mean flights will begin immediately. [^5]

JetBlue expects to operate about 150 daily departures from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport by the end of the year. [^6]

JetBlue intends to free up aircraft from the discontinued routes to support a major expansion in Fort Lauderdale. [^7]

The airline stated it is ending service on several underperforming routes, including the JFK-Antigua route, as part of a broader network restructuring. [^8]
