Struggling low-cost carrier is not having a good year. After dropping its Northeast Alliance with American Airlines and being denied the ability to acquire Spirit Airlines (more here), it has seen terrible on-time performance, a shakeup of its leadership, and lots of financial woes. In trying to remedy the situation, JetBlue shared with The Points Guy that it is hacking off a lot of its unprofitable routes.
Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL)
As of June 13th, JetBlue will eliminate the following routes from Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL):
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)
- Nashville International Airport (BNA)
- Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY)
- Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
JetBlue is cutting its schedule by 33% and reducing daily departures from 34 to 24 on June 13th. Routes being cut include:
- Cancún International Airport (CUN)
- Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
- Liberia’s Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR)
- Miami International Airport (MIA)
- Puerto Vallarta’s Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR)
- Reno–Tahoe International Airport (RNO)
- San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
- Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
Other Routes
The following other routes are also getting the axe in June:
- Aguadilla’s Rafael Hernández International Airport (BQN) and Tampa International Airport (TPA)
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
- Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)
Four Cities Are Being Dropped
JetBlue is ceasing service to four cities, altogether. These include:
- Bogota’s El Dorado International Airport (BOG)
- Kansas City International Airport (MCI)
- Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM)
- Quito’s Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO)
Anthony’s Take: JetBlue needed to scale back and cut unprofitable routes. It will hopefully shift focus to Boston and New York where it began. The airline has had a tumultuous year and it will hopefully regain its footing.
