Highly doubt it. There's already a lot of announced expansion - someone probably posted false facts on Wikipedia. Such rumors aren't new, either.

What a coincidence, NW is selling their DC9 fleet, DL and AA are merging and buying 100 A350s, CO is also buying A350s just for the hell of it, and UA LH are both installing ptvs on all their aircraft ON THE SAME DAY!!!!

Really?
No, j/k of course lol. I guess this pretty much confirms that the July 21st "announcement" is completely fake.
Though I wish it weren't...

There will be no announcement for jetBlue at MIA this week. I wouldn't rule out an announcement this year, but definitley not this week.
Quoting NASBWI (Reply 2): If they do, it'd be a shock to most of us, I'm sure. Last I heard, MCO was going to be our Florida focus. I guess time will tell
Definitley not if jetBlue gets the gates at FLL that they want.
Quoting B752OS (Reply 4): I am just wondering why it is being called their single largest new city expansion?
Probably because many rumours have talked about how jetBlue plans to open up MIA in the same way they opened up Boston, with a large amount of markets. Though there certainly will not be an MIA announcement this week, and nothing will happen until MIA announces their new usage fees for Concourse F and G.

Actually from what I hear B6 will announce the cities in Florida they do not presently serve, yet are served by DL. Start dates are supposed to be in FEB06. Look for MIA, PNS, DAB and MLB. I don't really like to comment on rumors, but this one seems legit from what I have heard.
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

The problem with Wikipedia is that anyone can edit it and so it's easy to vandalize. Eventually vandalism is reverted, but sometimes it takes a couple days before someone catches it and it just starts rumors. So, never go by what Wikipedia says.

I have heard MIA, DAB, and MLB. I have heard nothing of PNS, interesting. It could be a good market for a daily E90 to JFK.
The FEB07 start date for MIA would make perfect sense, because that is when Concourse J opens and jetBlue would be able to move into F/G.

Easier said than done. FLL can't just pull another 3-4 gates out of the ground. jetBlue has been asking for more gates for three years and FLL has done nothing. Not because they don't want to, they do, but because they simply can't.

Look how long it took Frontier to get more gates at DIA and in the end they did, same will happen in FLL.

When B6 does enter the MIA market, will it be just some flts to the big B6 cities or will it essentially take the place of the FLL focus city? Does it depend on whether B6 gets more gates in FLL or will B6 keep all of FLL's current operations and essentially have focus cities in both FLL and MIA?

IMHO - I would be surprised to see them in MIA earlier than 2008!

Quoting KenMIA (Reply 16): Some time in '05 wasn't there talk of a B6 operation at MIA commencing in early '06? If so, where along the way did that get derailed?
I don't really know where it went off but I remember the talks. But also when they were announcing the BOS expansion everyone thought that would be MIA, then some stuff surfaced back in 05 and now it is coming up again. Who really knows when all this will start. I am hoping for a PNS flight, that would make me very happy. Also DAB MLB would be very great additions. If EYW could handle it they should send about 2 190's to EYW seasonal service though since I think EYW has some off periods.

I just applied for a part-time Customer Service Crew position @ MCO. If they come to MLB, I'm applying for everything there is. MLB is my location, but I commute thru Orlando to Ocala quite a bit.
Btw,
I thought there is a restrction on slots out of FLL. I know B6 is big in MCO. I hope they make a base out here. If FLL cant do, look for MCO to be the focus city.

Quoting MCOflyer (Reply 18): I thought there is a restrction on slots out of FLL.
The FAA was seriously considering making FLL a slot-restricted airport a few years ago due to congestion and high amounts of delays. However, within the last year, congestion has decreased and delays have dropped as a result.
Quoting MAH4546 (Reply 7): Definitley not if jetBlue gets the gates at FLL that they want.
Where are the prospective gates? Also, which other airlines are "competing" for them and how likely do you think it is that JetBlue will receive them?
Has anyone wondered why neither CO nor NW haven't moved their operations into Terminal D with Delta? They all have codeshare agreements and it seems (to me at least) that the Delta terminal is underused. By doing so, a couple of gates in Terminal C would be freed up, thereby giving JetBlue a couple as well as WN (which is right next door in Terminal B, though the two terminals are connected). Heck, I know YX operates out of D as well, so they could move their ops. to Terminal C as well to help free up space to either NW or CO which would move to D.
Am I being too confusing? I guess you need to have been to FLL to know what I'm talking about...

jetBlue simply wants more gates, and FLL can't get them to them unless they can get other airlines to move around. Certain airlines, like AA and US, are hogging gates because they have more than they need, which makes shuffling airlines difficult.

Experiencing similar situation at LAX with several airlines.
These days getting airplanes is the easy part. Getting facilities is the name of the game. With most US airports not using the common use concept, by default upstarts and carriers looking to expand get boxed in by many legacy carriers operating under long term exclusive leases without any "use it, or loose it" provisions.
Ultimately commerce and competition gets restrained at some airports due to carriers monopolizing facilities.

Quoting MAH4546 (Reply 23): Very few US airports use common use, and, AFAIK, the only major one that does is MIA.
LAS IAD and MCO all have sizeable CUTE (Common Use Terminal Equipment) facilities also, IIRC SEA has some too (near DL?).
Though not "major" SNA i believe is 100% CUTE
You can bet that as airline cutbacks continue to burn airports by sitting on underutilized gates that more airports will shift to a CUTE system to maximize efficency.
Experience is what you get when what you thought would work out didn't!
