IMPERIAL, Pa. (AP) - JetBlue Airways plans to add a daily, nonstop flight from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. in the fall.

The flight from Pittsburgh International Airport to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport begins Oct. 29.

Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald says the new flight will give western Pennsylvanians another option for business and leisure travel.

JetBlue President Robin Hayes says it also provides more access to connecting flights to the Caribbean and Latin America, and cruises based out of Fort Lauderdale.
