JetBlue adds new Florida flight to Guatemala, other flights began Thursday. What to know
As airlines tighten their belts and reduce capacities due to decreased demand, JetBlue is adding new flights.
On April 30, the airline started a twice-daily, year-round route between La Guardia Airport in New York City and Tampa and a new daily flight between Fort Lauderdale and Guatemala City.
New York-based JetBlue also announced flights from Boston to Wilmington International Airport (ILM) and Norfolk International Airport (ORF) as part of a plan to "build the best East Coast leisure network," the company said in a release. Other new flights starting Thursday included four to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City: Detroit, Michigan (DTW), Hartford, Connecticut (BDL), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PIT) and Providence, Rhode Island (PVD).
'These new routes expand our presence in Boston and connect even more communities to JetBlue's broad network across the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe,' said Daniel Shurz, JetBlue's senior vice president of revenue, network and enterprise planning.
JetBlue announced in February that the winter seasonal service from Providence, Rhode Island to Tampa and Hartford, Connecticut to Fort Myers would be expanded to year-round service. The month before, the airline began flying routes between Manchester–Boston Regional Airport to Orlando, Fort Myers, and Fort Lauderdale.
The new routes came after the airline cut some flights in Florida last June and canceled a direct flight service from Tallahassee to Fort Lauderdale.

Rochester-based organization providing aid to Haiti reacts to international travel ban
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – The Trump administration has imposed a travel ban on 12 countries, which took effect Monday. The ban is prohibiting those primarily in Africa and the Middle East from entering the U.S. out of concerns of national security and terrorism. Haiti is among the countries affected. News 8 spoke to the leader of one local organization overseeing mission work there for years. Dr. Ralph Pennino co-founded Intervol in the late 80s and for more than three decades, the Rochester-based organization has helped to provide countless medical supplies and equipment in developing countries each year. In 2017, Dr. Pennino helped to create a school in Leogane, Haiti, which is not far from the country's capital of Port-Au-Prince. 'Right now, we've got grades 1 through 9. These are kids that wouldn't have a choice in education otherwise,' said Dr. Pennino. Regarding the travel ban, Dr. Pennino says the future of volunteerism is unclear. With a population plagued by poverty and violence, he says it only makes matters more complicated. 'Haiti, interestingly enough, has the highest number of volunteers per capita for a population that comes down to try and help Haiti. To be quite honest, there's probably going to be a lot of repair work to do because people are going to be afraid. And I understand. They're not going to go want to go there,' said Dr. Pennino. Catholic Charities closing certain refugee resettlement programs While there's no immediate answer as to when the travel ban will lift, Intervol continues to meet with students online for services like medical checkups or educational lessons. 'We'd normally send doctors down that would go to some of the remote villages to do primary care and the surgeons would go to part of the hospital. That part of what we do, I don't know how long it's going to be,' said Dr. Pennino. Dr. Pennino added for the first time in the Haitian school's history, their ninth graders are about to complete their national exams. He says that has been a positive in the midst of uncertainty.

America's $75 Billion Nuclear Bet: Westinghouse vs. the Future of Energy
Westinghouse is going all-in on America's nuclear revival. Backed by Brookfield and Cameco, the Pennsylvania-based firm is in active talks with US officials, tech firms, and utilities to build 10 large nuclear reactors under President Trump's new energy directive. The order sets a 2030 deadline to begin construction and aims to quadruple US nuclear output by 2050. That kind of ambition could translate into a $75 billion opportunity, based on Department of Energy cost estimates. Interim CEO Dan Sumner says Westinghouse has the edgeits AP1000 design is approved, the supply chain is intact, and it's already delivered units in the US and China. We believe we can do them all, Sumner told the FT, pointing to hyperscaler interest and government loan programs as signs of momentum. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with AMZN. But it's not a done deal yet. Nuclear still faces stiff economic headwinds in the US. While Washington may be on board, local utilities and regulators still have the final sayand memories of the Vogtle project's ballooning costs still linger. Analysts warn that the current US power market structure doesn't guarantee cost recovery for mega-projects, making investor appetite uncertain. Even so, Sumner argues that lessons from past delays have been baked into the new build model: We're the only ones who've done modular nuclear at scale. And now, the learning's embedded. Meanwhile, SMR developers aren't staying quiet. NuScale is pitching a 12-pack of its 77MW modules to rival traditional plants in capacity, while Holtec's 320MW units could be grouped to matchand beatWestinghouse on cost and complexity. We fully intend to compete with the big plants, Holtec's president said. The big question now: Will deep-pocketed buyersthink Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)step up to fund these nuclear ambitions, or wait for the small guys to scale first? Either way, the race is on. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
