JetBlue Airways’ decision to launch service from Miami International Airport (MIA) caps off a raft of network changes the company has undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic to respond to what it deems as “changing customer demand.”
In February 2021, JetBlue plans to introduce up to 14 daily flights from Miami to Boston Logan (BOS), Los Angeles (LAX), New York JFK (JFK) and Newark International (EWR). The flights to Los Angeles will feature JetBlue’s Mint premium service, which the airline currently offers from its focus city in nearby Fort Lauderdale (FLL).
Fort Lauderdale is a long-standing focus city for JetBlue, and data from Aviation Week’s CAPA and OAG for the week of Dec. 14 show the airport is the airline’s second-largest base measured by seat deployment.
