JetBlue has not seen the future in Miami, so it dropped Florida hotspots from the route map as part of a broader effort to reduce profitability.
The New York-based airline will end service at Miami International Airport (MIA) on September 3, and will move flights to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) on October 25 to Summer Seasonal Services, scheduled data from the show at aerial analytics firm Cirium. The airline will end three more routes.
According to Cirium, JetBlue’s full cut includes:
- The event will close in April from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) in Grenada. Seasonal reopening has been cancelled
- Bos to Mia: Ends September 3rd
- Bos to Sea: Ends on October 25th. Summer 2026 will resume
- It will close in April from Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) in New York from Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) in West Palm Beach, Florida. Seasonal reopening has been cancelled
- John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) from New York to Sea: Ends October 25th. Summer 2026 will resume
- Luis Munos Marine International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Cancun International Airport (CUN) in Mexico: Ends August 30th
A JetBlue spokesperson confirmed the changes and said it was part of an ongoing programme, “coordinating flights optimally with demand and regularly to support a broader growth strategy.”
Earlier in June, JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty told staff in a note that the airline would do so. Cut low-performance routes and park planes To reduce costs and return to profitability.
“We will recover the demand and reservations we want, but even the recovery will not completely offset the ground we lost this year, and our path to profitability will take longer than we hoped,” she said.
Most US airlines report weakness in economy-class domestic leisure travel. It disproportionately affects airlines that primarily cater to those travelers, such as Frontier Airlines, JetBlue and Southwest Airlines.
At the same time, premium and international travel remained strong. Geraghty told staff in the same memo that Jetblue continues to invest in premium services. Top cabins in Japan And that My first airport lounge. Airlines are also moving forward New loyalty partnership With United Airlines.

JetBlue executives say the airline’s transatlantic flights are working very well.
Airlines Miami added In 2021, we expanded into new markets as part of our coronavirus pandemic initiative. JetBlue initially served as Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Newar Liberty International Airport (EWR), JFK and later from Meer to Hartford’s Bradley International Airport (BDL). Flights to BDL, LAX and EWR ended in 2024. JFK flights will end this month, while BOS flights will fly in September, Cirium data shows.
Historically, airlines like JetBlue and Southwest have been able to use slower economics to expand into markets dominated by Legacy Airlines. They both tried to do the same during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, thanks to the government’s financial support provided to the airline, legacy carriers have maintained their share in many cities throughout the recovery, but many newcomers were surprised.
