JetBlue Details Major Cuts at Five Metro Areas
U.S. low-fare carrier JetBlue will reduce departures from the New York area from 215 to 30.

New York-based JetBlue Airways will consolidate operations at five major metropolitan areas in the U.S. for eight weeks starting April 15 while maintaining a “critical” level of service throughout its network to maintain essential connectivity, the company announced Wednesday. JetBlue said it would slash services in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., under the terms of Department of Transportation rules that exempt airlines from certain minimum service requirements to cities they serve without losing their rights to government aid set aside for Covid-19 relief.
