"We are excited to welcome Los Angeles service to PBI," Laura Beebe, director of airports for Palm Beach County, said in a news release announcing the new service. "Los Angeles has historically been a destination that is in high demand with our customers, so we are thrilled with the new JetBlue service."

This is the first direct service to and from Los Angeles since American Airlines ended its nonstop service at PBIA in 2015.
