JetBlue to cease Miami operations and reduce Seattle service
JetBlue will halt operations at Miami Airport in September and operate Seattle service seasonally. The schedule cuts follow CEO Joanna Geraghty's staff memo last week, in which she stated that JetBlue would implement a variety of cost-cutting measures, including the elimination of underperforming routes, because a drop-off in demand will prevent JetBlue from returning to profitability this year. JetBlue had aimed to end a string of losing years; the airline has not been profitable since before the pandemic. JetBlue began serving Miami in 2021, augmenting its robust schedule at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport, and for a short while flew as many as five Miami routes. Currently, only Boston-Miami remains, with the airline having suspended Miami-New York JFK service on June 12. JetBlue will end Miami-Boston service on Sept. 2. JetBlue's two Seattle routes serve Boston and New York JFK. Last winter was the first in which the Seattle-New York route was moved to summer only, with flying suspended from November through March. Beginning Oct. 25, the airline will transition Seattle-Boston to summers only. The move, JetBlue said, will better match its flying with demand trends.
