The escape is carefully planned.
JetBlue’s cuts are aimed at freeing up aircraft time to redeploy planes into Fort Lauderdale, where the airline is growing rapidly.

The cuts include routes to popular destinations like Antigua and Daytona Beach, as well as seasonal routes to Fort Myers and Amsterdam.
Fort Lauderdale is becoming the ultimate hub for East Coast leisure travel – as long as you don’t mind a few cuts along the way.
