JetBlue is shaking up its route network, cutting or changing a dozen less profitable flights across the world.
A number of the cuts are at its hub in New York City, with flights to Austin, Houston, Miami, and Milwaukee being cut, JetBlue confirmed to Travel + Leisure. The carrier will also not resume flights between New York and London Gatwick Airport (LGW), which it previously cut earlier this year.
The airline will also end all flights to San Jose, CA, and stop serving the city, as well as end flights between Westchester and Charleston and between Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale.
“As part of our JetForward strategic plan, JetBlue is focused on building a network that best serves our customers and supports our long-term success,” JetBlue said in a statement shared with T+L. “Recently, we made some network adjustments in certain markets, removing some underperforming flying from our schedule, allowing us to redeploy resources, including our popular Mint service, toward high-demand markets and new opportunities.”
The airline said it would “announce how we will redeploy this capacity, including into our European network” in the coming weeks.
In addition to ending routes, JetBlue will also plan to change how others operate. Flights between Boston and Phoenix, for example, will transition into a winter seasonal route, as will flights between New York and Tulum and between Boston and Grenada.
The airline, which reduced service in half between New York and Paris to once daily in October, will continue to fly once per day and will not plan to bring back a second daily summer seasonal flight.
Finally, in Seattle, the airline will use Core-only aircraft on all its routes from the city.
Beyond continuing to shake up its schedule, JetBlue quietly raised baggage prices in February and changed how it charges for bags by introducing a peak and off-peak pricing structure in the spring.
The airline officially ended its planned merger with Spirit Airlines in March, weeks after a federal judge blocked the effort. Spirit has since filed for bankruptcy.
