Between November and next summer, the latest Cirium Diio data shows that the carrier has far more flights touching the Sunshine State than anywhere else. Ten markets in Florida are served: Destin-Fort Walton Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Key West, Orlando, Sarasota, Tampa, Vero Beach, and West Palm Beach. Depending on the specific month, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is now JetBlue's most-served airport across its entire network, surpassing New York JFK. JetBlue Has Ended 16 Domestic Routes To Florida Credit: Felix Mizioznikov | Shutterstock Comparing the airline's domestic Florida network between January and October 2026 with what's scheduled from November 2026 onwards shows that these routes have all ended. They include several routes that were only served for Spring Break, including Bozeman, Denver, Portland, Reno, and Salt Lake City to FLL. As flights do not return in 2027, the airline was clearly underwhelmed by the performance relative to what else it could do with the aircraft. End Month (January To October 2026 Only) From To JetBlue's Operations In 2026 April Portland Fort Lauderdale Five weekly A320 (only 10 departures in total) April Providence Tampa Up to daily A320 May Manchester Fort Lauderdale Up to four weekly A320 March Bozeman Fort Lauderdale Weekly A320 (only three departures) March Denver Fort Lauderdale Up to 12 weekly A320 March New York LaGuardia Tampa Up to 2 daily A320 March Reno Fort Lauderdale Weekly A320 (only three departures) March Salt Lake City Fort Lauderdale Five weekly A320 (only 10 departures in total) May Manchester Fort Myers 3 weekly A320 June Newark Fort Myers Up to daily A320 July Hartford Tampa Up to 10 weekly A220-300, A320 July Manchester Orlando Daily A320 July Newark Tampa Up to 12 weekly A320 September Boston Daytona Beach Daily A220-300 September New York JFK Daytona Beach Daily A220-300, A320 September New York JFK Vero Beach Daily A220-300, A320 Two of the routes were to Daytona Beach, which is not overly far from Jacksonville and Orlando. JetBlue has ended all operations there. It first flew to Daytona Beach between January 2016 and January 2019, only to return in December 2025. It was out again after less than a year. Moreover, JetBlue has also entirely pulled out of Manchester, which is not far from Boston, and was only part of its network since January 2025. JetBlue Has Also Ended Three International Routes From Florida Credit: Markus Mainka | Shutterstock They include Orlando to the capital of Costa Rica. This route first welcomed JetBlue in March 2009. Initially, the Embraer E190 was deployed; the type has now been removed from the airline's fleet. Of course, it was nearly all about the A320 (89% of total flights), extremely distantly followed by the A321 (6%) and the E190 (5%). End Month (January To October 2026 Only) From To JetBlue's Operations In 2026 June Fort Lauderdale Grand Cayman 3 weekly A320 June Tampa Punta Cana Daily A220-300, A320 July Orlando San José Up to 2 daily A320, A321 US Department of Transportation data shows that JetBlue transported approximately 1.5 million round-trip passengers between Orlando and San José between 2009 and 2026. The route's overall load factor in that period was 80.9%. In the final 12 months, the load fell to 77.6%. As usual, this is just one performance measure, and it should not be considered seriously without more data, especially fare information. JetBlue From New York JFK To Vero Beach Credit: Felix Mizioznikov | Shutterstock The airline did not serve this route, which covers 845 nautical miles (1,565 km) each way, for long. The first flight from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), historically JetBlue's most-served airport, only took off in December 2025. It was the first time that JFK, which is the Big Apple's busiest airport, had flights to the Florida destination. However, Newark had flights to Vero Beach between January 2016 and February 2023, when the now-defunct Elite Airways operated. JetBlue ceased JFK-Vero Beach service in September 2026, less than a year after the route began. A 59.5% load factor will do that. So will the route having JetBlue's fifth-lowest length-adjusted total revenue per available seat mile from JFK. It means that Greater NYC is once again unconnected to the city in the Sunshine State.
