In fact, American Eagle is ceasing operations in San Juan altogether, ending all service to neighboring Caribbean islands
The affected routes for the Dominican Republic are
SDQ-SJU 4 times a day
PUJ-SJU 2 times a day
STI-SJU once a day
LRM-SJU twice a week
POP-SJU has already been gone for a while.
Here's a huge opportunity for JetBlue to move in. Up until a few years ago, AA enjoyed a total monopoly on flights between the DR and Puerto Rico. Then JetBlue started SDQ-SJU, once a day, and it was so popular and at such a better price it went to twice a day then three now four times a day. Now American Eagle is pulling out altogether. There's a brand new terminal at SJU airport that will be exclusively for JetBlue to create their hub in the Caribbean. Hoping for JetBlue to pick up PUJ-SJU to make for easy connections to and from Florida.
