JetBlue announced a bunch of new routes and frequency increases in New York state and New England yesterday. It also dropped 18 routes from its network and exited seven markets altogether including some major metros like Charlotte, Minneapolis, and San Antonio.

  • Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to/from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) (ends on October 26th). JetBlue will cease flying to Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) altogether.

  • Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to/from Santo Domingo’s Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) (ends on January 6th).
  • New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to/from Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) (ends on October 26th). JetBlue will cease flying to Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) altogether.
  • New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to/from Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) (will not reopen). JetBlue will cease flying to Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) altogether.
  • New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to/from Guadeloupe’s Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport (PTP) (will not reopen). JetBlue will cease flying to Guadeloupe’s Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport (PTP) altogether.
  • New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to/from San Antonio International Airport (SAT) (ends on October 26th). JetBlue will cease flying to San Antonio International Airport (SAT) altogether.
  • Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) to/from Cancún International Airport (CUN) (ends on October 26th).
  • Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) to/from Orlando International Airport (MCO) (ends on October 26th).

Anthony’s Take: It’s a bit surprising to see JetBlue completely pull out of Burbank, Charlotte, Guadeloupe (well, this one isn’t as major as some of the others), Minneapolis, Palm Springs, San Antonio, and Tallahassee. Pressure from other carriers and the airline’s own poor financial performance is motivating these cuts.

I had a ticket from Bar Harbor to Charlotte canceled by JetBlue due to the cessation of service to CLT. Of course they canceled my flight on Cape Air who now wants 3x what the entire journey costs just to take me from BHB to BOS….
