JetBlue is on the move with new flight routes, while saying goodbye to others.

JetBlue cuts or halts 24 routes, pulls out of 7 cities — but doubles down on New England

JetBlue is pausing or cutting service on two dozen routes and pulling seven cities off its route map entirely as part of its latest network shakeup.
The New York-based carrier, which has its sights set on returning to profitability, announced a slew of changes Wednesday.
JetBlue is adding seven new routes, mostly from airports in New England. And it's bringing its Mint cabin to more domestic routes.

It's not all schedule trims and cutbacks, though.
JetBlue is adding a handful of new routes, with a heavy emphasis on flying between the Northeast and Florida.
The additions include the airline's first-ever service from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) in New Hampshire. It's all part of a broader effort to beef up service across New England, with new routes also being added in Providence and Portland, Maine, and additional flights from Hartford, Connecticut.

JetBlue has long had a strong presence at the region's largest airport, Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), but has gotten far stiffer competition in recent years as Delta Air Lines has bolstered its presence in Boston with its hub.
"Our commitment to Boston and our loyal customers across New England is unwavering as we continue to innovate and enhance our product," JetBlue president Marty St. George said in a statement announcing the news.
As part of the network adjustments, JetBlue is bolstering frequency on some existing routes out of Boston and other New England. airports.
Among the changes, JetBlue plans to add a second daily nonstop flight from Boston to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), and bring a Mint-equipped jet to the route. As St. George explained in an exclusive interview with TPG last month, the carrier is sending far more of its Mint seats to
