Jetblue Drops Several Local Flights

By Idy Perl

Jetblue has announced that they will be cutting some routes out of New York and Westchester County.

As part of Jetblue’s “JetForward” plan to bring the company back to profitability, which it hasn’t been since before the pandemic, the airline will be dropping several routes.

Among the dropped services are flights from Westchester County Airport to Charleston, South Carolina, and New York to Austin, Houston, and Miami. In addition, international flights such as from New York to London and one daily flight from New York to Paris will be cut as well.

Jetblue’s CEO explained the changes with the following statement:

As part of our JetForward strategic plan, JetBlue is focused on building a network that best serves our customers and supports our long-term success. Recently, we made some network adjustments in certain markets, removing some underperforming flying from our schedule, allowing us to redeploy resources, including our popular Mint service, toward high-demand markets and new opportunities. In the coming weeks, we will announce how we will redeploy this capacity, including into our European network, providing even more travel options for our customers.
