or Two Area Airports
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today 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.
“We face new challenges every day and can’t hesitate to take the
steps necessary to reduce our costs amidst dramatically falling
demand so we can emerge from this unprecedented time as a strong
company for our customers and crewmembers,” said Scott Laurence,
head of revenue and planning, JetBlue.
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 (DOT) 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% 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.
