JetBlue passengers are in for a bumpy ride this year as the airline slashes six routes from its schedule and makes the bold move to cease operations at Miami International Airport.
The airline confirmed it will ditch the Miami airport by September 2, axing its only remaining route from Boston as it cuts ‘unprofitable flights.’
Instead, JetBlue will focus on nearby Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.
However, Miami isn’t the only destination disappearing from JetBlue’s map.
In a sweeping network shake-up, the airline is also suspending flights between San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Cancun, cutting seasonal service between New York and Manchester, New Hampshire, and dropping Boston to Grenada flights entirely.
‘We are also tweaking flying on a handful of routes that we were flying less than daily service (think one to three times a week), that were already seasonal, highly unprofitable, or that we had added to support the operation,’ the company stated, according to the outlet.
Even Boston to Seattle, a popular cross-country route, is being downgraded to seasonal service only, set to end in October and return next spring.
Meanwhile, those flying from Buffalo to West Palm Beach will be grounded too with the seasonal connection, which was due to resume in October, now scrapped.

‘Economic uncertainty has shaken consumer confidence and softened travel demand – hurting our plans for the year,’ JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty told employees in a memo obtained by Axios.
‘While most airlines are feeling the impact, it’s especially frustrating for us, as we had hoped to reach break-even operating margin this year, which now seems unlikely.’
She added: ‘Our path back to profitability will take longer than we’d hoped (as) we’re still relying on borrowed cash to keep the airline running.’
JetBlue responded to DailyMail.com for comment, writing: ‘JetBlue currently offers a 1-2 times daily flight between Boston and Miami.
‘We continually evaluate how our network is performing and make changes as needed.
‘To free aircraft for new routes, we’ve recently made the decision to end a small number of unprofitable flights including between Boston and Miami.
‘We will continue to serve Boston from our nearby focus city Fort Lauderdale as well as West Palm Beach.
‘Customers booked on affected flights will have the option to fly via Fort Lauderdale or receive a full refund to their original form of payment.’

JetBlue isn’t the only major airline making big cuts ahead of summer.
In April, United Airlines slashed its domestic flight schedule by four percent, citing softer demand for US travel.
Despite the turbulence in domestic skies, the airline — which calls itself the largest airline in the US — reported surprisingly strong demand to fly overseas, especially in premium cabins.
Ticket sales to fly abroad rose five percent in the latest quarter.
The sales suggest a growing divide among travelers: richer flyers meant high-end luxury flights saw impressive growth in the segment.
Meanwhile, Americans with less cash to spend pulled back their spending habits.
During the first quarter of 2025, United posted a $387 million profit, reversing a $124 million loss in the same quarter last year and beating Wall Street’s expectations.
‘We expect to expand our lead further in challenging economic times,’ United’s CEO, Scott Kirby, said during the earnings call about the profit boost.
The outlook for the major airliner remains on shaky ground as the company weighs recession risks.
