Redeploying Aircraft to High-Value Markets &
Routes
To enable the new city, multi-route expansions and frequency
additions, JetBlue will redeploy aircraft by adding flights on some
existing routes and reducing flights on others that are not meeting
expectations.
Throughout 2020, JetBlue will increase flights on more than a
half dozen popular routes during peak travel periods in New York,
Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Latin America and the
Caribbean.
Effective April 29, 2020, JetBlue will end service at Oakland
International Airport (OAK) where it currently serves New York-JFK,
Boston and Long Beach. JetBlue will continue to serve Bay Area
travelers from airports in San Francisco and San Jose. In addition,
JetBlue will reduce or eliminate flights on a half dozen short-haul
routes in Long Beach as well as additional flights from Fort
Lauderdale and Orlando.
Nearly three and a half years after becoming the first airline
to operate commercial service between the U.S. and Cuba in more
than 50 years, JetBlue remains committed to serving Cuba via
Havana’s José Martí International Airport (HAV). At the same time,
changes to the regulatory landscape have affected travel trends to
the island. To best meet current demand JetBlue will adjust
schedules to maintain up to three daily flights to Havana from Fort
Lauderdale and revise to once weekly service on Saturdays from New
York-JFK. Through these gateway cities, JetBlue will continue to
offer travelers convenient nonstop and connecting options to Cuba
