The same positive trend was seen in Las Vegas, which experienced 38.8 million travelers.

As a longtime champion of consumers and working people, I’m a skeptic when it comes to corporate mergers. Far too many have put profits over people. However, there is one merger that stands to be different: JetBlue’s acquisition of Spirit Airlines, which will be good for Florida consumers and good for Florida workers.

JetBlue has made a strong case for why its planned acquisition of Spirit Airlines will create a national low-fare challenger to the dominant ‘Big Four’ airlines that control about 80% of the U.S. market today.

And while there has been significant focus on the cost of airline tickets and the impact inflation is having on the family vacation, low-fare airlines are helping to make air travel more affordable.

When other airlines abandoned Boston Logan International Airport, JetBlue expanded service, announced new low-fare routes — including London and Paris – and made the city an attractive gateway for millions of travelers.

And while Queens is a place that many companies call home, not every company has shown a consistent commitment to uplifting our borough and our city the way JetBlue has.
