JetBlue Temporarily Consolidates Service in Five U.S. Metro Areas

JetBlue, on Wednesday, announced it will temporarily consolidate operations in five major metropolitan areas in the U.S. between April 15 and June 10. The revised schedules are aimed at reducing excess flying during a time of unprecedented low demand for air travel while maintaining a critical level of service across the airline’s network for those who absolutely must fly.

Effective April 15 through June 10, JetBlue will consolidate its operations in Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and Washington D.C. with flights operating at one or two airports in each metro area.

JetBlue also intends to file an exemption request with the U.S. Department of Transportation to temporarily suspend flying at other airports where the airline typically operates only a handful of daily flights and where current demand does not support JetBlue service.

As previously announced, JetBlue has reduced flying network-wide by 80 percent per day in April. Customers whose flights have been canceled will be notified via email by the airline’s customer support team for rebooking options on other JetBlue flights or the choice of a refund or JetBlue credit for future travel.
