Key Takeaways:

JetBlue is cutting several routes as part of its latest network shake-up. In an internal memo sent to employees on Wednesday, the carrier said it is “focused on building the best East Coast leisure network.”

The airline continues to face a slew of challenges, including Pratt & Whitney engine troubles on its Airbus A321neo and A220 jets.

Trans-Atlantic Cuts

In summer 2025, the New York-based carrier said it won’t operate flights from New York-JFK to London Gatwick. JetBlue’s second daily New York to Paris flight will also end.

In the memo viewed by AirlineGeeks, the carrier said the two flights “didn’t meet our financial expectations.” JetBlue is slated to announce new trans-Atlantic routes next week.

Domestic Changes

The airline will also end a handful of “unprofitable” domestic routes, including Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Jacksonville, Florida; New York-JFK to Miami, Milwaukee, Houston and Austin, Texas; along with Westchester County, New York, to Charleston, South Carolina.

With an increased focus on the East Coast, JetBlue will also close its station in San Jose, California, which is currently served from Boston. The airline adds that San Jose is “a market where we’ve struggled.”

In addition, flights from Boston to Grenada and Phoenix along with New York-JFK to Tulum, Mexico, will only operate during the winter months.

JetBlue adds that it will “redeploy” capacity in the coming weeks. An airline spokesperson did not immediately reply to AirlineGeeks’ request for comment.
