JetBlue unveils “Quisqueya la Bluebella” aircraft honoring Dominican culture

Santo Domingo.- JetBlue unveiled its new specially painted aircraft, “Quisqueya la Bluebella,” at Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo, celebrating Dominican culture and the airline’s strong connection to the Dominican Republic. The Airbus A320 features artwork created by Dominican artist Willy Gómez, whose design was selected earlier this year through a public voting campaign.

Inspired by the patriotic phrase “Quisqueya la Bella,” the aircraft incorporates iconic Dominican symbols, including dominoes, merengue and bachata instruments, tropical flowers, palm trees, ocean waves, and the national bird, the Cigüa Palmera. The phrase “Tamo’ aquí” (“We’re here”) displayed on the aircraft highlights JetBlue’s continued commitment to the Dominican community both on the island and abroad.

During the unveiling ceremony, JetBlue President Marty St. George emphasized the airline’s more than 20-year relationship with the Dominican Republic, describing the aircraft as a tribute to Dominican pride, culture, and creativity. JetBlue currently serves Santo Domingo, Santiago, Punta Cana, and Puerto Plata and remains the airline with the most routes connecting the Dominican Republic and the United States.

The airline also announced that it will operate an average of 45 daily flights to and from the Dominican Republic this summer, while continuing to expand service and support community initiatives across the country.
