JetBlue cuts flights to focus on ‘bread and butter’ routes – report
Read Time:40 Second
Good news here is Worcester was not cut. If you ask us “bread and butter” routes for JetBlue are NorthEast cites to Florida. Lets hope that this is good sign for more JetBlue routes coming to the City of Worcester.
Been busy, but saw many comments about Breeze heading to Manchester, Frontier flying Bradley to Tampa, Spirit leaving Manchester and Tweed getting more routes from Avelo. We think all these developments only bode well for JetBlue adding Florida routes/service.
Really think this a big year for JetBlue in Worcester. Alot of changes at jetBlue with Ichan, St George and Geraghty, focus back on their core business.
Editor’s note: We have been using ORH alot to go to our condo in Boca. Service has been great and flights have been full!!!

If JB adds more flights to Worcester, they would need to establish a crew base. More seasonal flights would be great, WP beach for example. Worcester Tampa, Puerto Rico, JFK, twice daily to Ft. Lauderdale. Hopefully Worcester can build and we don’t experience a cut in service from JB
If Southwest buys JB, it looks like they may try, that’s why the sudden end of so many west coast routes, Worcester airport may be in trouble. Southwest would most likely leave Worcester airport.
If a JB acquisition of Spirit wasn’t allowed, a SW acquisition of JB would definitely be squashed. JB is moving focus back to the east coast, hopefully that lands us another permanent route, San Juan or Tampa would be best.
SW pilot union hired legal counsel to navigate pilot seniority. SW is looking at buying an airline.
If SWA buys another airline, it won’t be JetBlue. Yes it makes sense, equipment wise, it would be a nightmare to southwest. They operate an all 737 fleet. JetBlue operates an all A320 family fleet (except the E190 and A220). That is a problem because one, it would flip Southwest Maintenance upside down, and two, Southwest has commitments to Boeing (I think) to an all Boeing fleet. JetBlue also has newer flight managing systems which would not integrate with Southwest’s systems.
What other airline uses only Boeing planes? Airbus is a stronger more reliable plane lately? SW will adapt especially with palantir technologies running operating systems
