JetBlue just dropped the 6x daily flights it was offering between New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). This route was popular with business travelers and is being ceded to Delta Air Lines (who runs it 15x daily).
JetBlue appears to be ending its Boston (BOS) to New York LaGuardia (LGA) route with flights removed from sale after April 29.
JetBlue planned to operate BOS-LGA 6x daily.
Presumably 3x of these slots will move to Porter for their new LGA flights on May 1. pic.twitter.com/Rz2COXUB3D

When American Airlines and JetBlue were working together in the Northeast Alliance, it was decided that American would cease flying between New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). JetBlue carried the route and it continued even after the partnership was dissolved by the Biden administration. American restarted service and offers it 4x daily. This left the three carriers to battle it out on this business-heavy route. With JetBlue retreating, Delta will be even more dominant here.
The slots that were used for the 6x daily flights will be split between JetBlue adding nonstop service to Tampa International Airport (TPA) and three slots will go to Porter Airlines. It’s launching a new route between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) up to 3x daily on May 1st.
It’s clear that JetBlue is continuing to shift its focus to leisure routes and the latest cut cements this transformation. JetBlue will still offer flights between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
Anthony’s Take: JetBlue is undergoing lots of changes (some good and some not so good). This was a classic business route, but it does not fit with JetBlue’s leisure plans. We’ll see what the future brings and if United Airlines is a part of that future.
