JetBlue Cuts Routes and Flights to Stem Financial Losses, Operational Issues

JetBlue is ending service to several US cities including Kansas City, Bogota, Quito, Lima, and reducing flights from Los Angeles.

The changes aim to focus on more profitable routes after years of financial losses totaling over $2 billion since 2019.

The moves will also help JetBlue address aircraft inspections and engine issues.

JetBlue tried to grow through partnerships and mergers but was blocked on antitrust grounds, prompting a strategy shift.

JetBlue has struggled with flight cancellations, on-time arrivals and operational issues, spurring calls for improvement.
