United Airlines is the dominant airline at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) with up to 73% of daily flights flown by the Chicago-based carrier. Maybe JetBlue is planning to rely more on its Blue Sky partnership with United as the carrier just slashed five of the routes it was offering to/from the New Jersey airport.
As of July 8th, JetBlue Airways is cancelling flights to/from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and:
- Aruba’s Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA)
- Cancún International Airport (CUN)
- Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ)
- Santo Domingo’s Las Américas International Airport (SDQ)
- Tampa International Airport (TPA)
In an internal memo shared by aviation watchdog, @JonNYC, the carrier cited that these routes “simply have not performed the way [they] need them to.” In addition to the cuts at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), JetBlue is also cancelling these routes:
- Hartford’s Bradley International Airport (BDL) to/from Tampa International Airport (TPA)
- Orlando International Airport (MCO) to/from San Jose’s Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO)
- Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD) to/from San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) (seasonal suspension)
Additionally, JetBlue will no longer fly to/from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) as of July 8th. Service to the airport only began in 2025. American, Breeze Airways, Southwest, and United also fly to/from the airport.
Anthony’s Take: If these routes have not been working than it makes sense for JetBlue to cut them (especially those in Newark with United as a partner.)
