JetBlue has a strong presence in Florida, but it won’t be providing service at one of the state’s busiest airports much longer.
It was confirmed this week that JetBlue has cut ties with Miami International Airport. According to multiple reports, the airline’s employees were informed of this decision on June 20. This change will go into effect on Sept. 3.
Derek Dombrowski, the director of corporate communications for JetBlue, said this move was made to “to free aircraft for new routes.” At the end of the day, it was a business decision for the company.
“We recently made the decision to end a small number of unprofitable flights including between Boston and Miami,” Dombrowski told The Miami Herald. “We continually evaluate how our network is performing and make changes as needed.”
Pulling flights to Miami obviously complicate matters for JetBlue travelers, so they can either opt for a full refund or rebook their flight at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
As of this year, JetBlue is considered Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport’s second largest carrier. Clearly, the airline didn’t have as much success in Miami. In fact, they scaled back service well before making this announcement.
This past Saturday, only two arrivals at Miami International Airport came from JetBlue. There was also just one departure, with Boston being the destination.
