Recently / Soon To Be Dropped Cities
To go along with the jetBlue is Shrinking thread, I wanted to start a list of cities that B6 is / will be dropping:
Since we need a line, let's say cities served by B6 through June of 2023 that have gotten or are getting the ax.
The two that I know of are:
BTV
BWI
Any others?

Seems like BWI would have been a good opportunity to grow but apparently not. No flights to JFK to LGA from the DC area, and already has a lot of low cost carriers (maybe the issue?). DMV area is pretty large, now only have minimal flights from DCA to BOS, FLL and a few random seasonal points....big market but guess SWA, AA and UA is too much to compete with

There's a fairly loyal customer base in the tv/film industry. BUR is very close to multiple studios. I was surprised that it couldn't sustain a second daily flight.

That is what kind of surprises me. A lot of the connections I want to make are through JFK. DCA-BOS is almost hourly, but zero DCA-JFK? I get it's a bit saturated but filling a E195 of A220 can't be that out of the question right? I dont know, I am not a C-suite exec so :shrug:

Snark aside, I'm honestly really surprised JFK-DCA didn't work out. They barely gave it a chance.
