In a press release earlier this week, JetBlue announced an increase in its Winter season flying in the New England region, along with other announcements.
The airline plans to add more flights from Boston, continuing its hold as the carrier with the most nonstop destinations in the market. Manchester, N.H. will also now see JetBlue service, becoming the tenth airport in New England served by the carrier. Flights from Manchester will begin on Jan. 23, 2025.
However, as reported on Aeroroutes, even with the announcement of Manchester, the airline plans to cut service to many cities.
Also included in the announcement, as previously reported, the airline confirmed the further retirement of the Embraer E190 fleet in favor of introducing the Airbus A220.
“[JetBlue has] already taken delivery of more than 30 A220s and replaced over 60 percent of [its] E190s,” said Marty St. George, current President of JetBlue. St. George continued by stating that the A220 “represents [JetBlue’s] commitment to providing the best onboard product.”
From Manchester, the airline initially plans to serve Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers, with the former scheduled for four weekly flights and the latter for three weekly. JetBlue will also serve Orlando from Manchester with a daily flight. All three destinations will be served by the carrier’s Airbus A320 aircraft.
The airline will also add further flights to New England via a daily Fort Myers route to Providence, a thrice-weekly Orlando-Portland, Maine, flight, a daily Tampa-Providence flight, and a thrice-weekly West Palm Beach-Buffalo flight.
The airline plans to add more flights from Boston to winter destination spots such as Aruba, Cancún, Grand Cayman, Liberia, and different Florida cities, but also faces cancellations across the network.
As reported by Aeroroutes, these eight cities will lose all JetBlue service:
The airline also plans to suspend its Boston to Amsterdam flight during the winter season, which began in September 2023. Furthermore, the carrier has announced cancellations for flights that were previously scheduled to resume, including Hartford to Miami and New York to Palm Springs.
