JetBlue removed its schedule between Fort Lauderdale and Caracas before October 7, so the route will not be sold for February 2027, according to the published schedule reported by AeroRoutes on October 7. The route had appeared loaded in systems as a daily service from February 4, but it never reached official confirmation from the airline and is now out of the schedule. For agencies, the change is concrete: there is no JetBlue inventory to quote to Caracas in that window. Ikiratours, Venezuela's 100% B2B DMC and inbound wholesaler, handles inbound operations.

What it means for your agency

The commercial lesson is not to sell on schedule loaded without official confirmation: a route in the systems is not a route on sale until the airline confirms and opens it. For the Florida market, the gateway to Caracas remains Miami (American, two daily flights, and its connecting network) and Panama (Copa, three daily flights from November 1): the inventory exists, but through other gateways. Updating the sales argument avoids quoting a flight the client will not be able to buy.

What to do

If you had the JetBlue route on your radar for February 2027, redirect those quotes to Miami or Panama and tell clients who had already asked about it. Net rates for lodging and excursions are on the B2B portal, with confirmation within 24 to 48 business hours.
