JetBlue has cut or suspended a further nine routes based on its schedule filing over the weekend. It follows the removal of 27 routes last month, with more since materializing.
The following routes were all expected to operate through this summer. All but two still will, but far later than anticipated. That includes two summer-seasonal routes from Newark to Cape Cod, introduced in July last year. They’ll now miss the July-August peak.
JetBlue has ended also New York JFK to Boise and Kalispell, which means the carrier no longer serves the two cities at all. According to T-100 data for Q3 2021, Boise achieved a seat load factor of 61.6% and Kalispell 51.5%. They were, of course, brand-new; the high fuel price also did not help these long, thin routes.
Boise has lost it’s only non-stop to New York City-area airports. Kalispell, meanwhile, still has American Airlines‘ Saturday-only service from LaGuardia. Here’s the rundown on all the changes:
- Boston to Port-au-Prince; last operated on March 29th; resumes on September 10th at 1x weekly, then 2x from November 2nd (began June 2015)
- Los Angeles to Richmond; last operated on October 30th; restarts on August 1st with 4x weekly (December 2020)
