JetBlue to Discontinue Multiple Routes, Exiting Several Cities

JetBlue Airways is discontinuing service to several cities, including Kansas City, Bogota, Quito, and Lima, while reducing flights out of Los Angeles and cutting routes from Fort Lauderdale, New York, and other locations. The airline is making these changes to focus on stronger markets and cope with the grounding of some planes for engine inspections. JetBlue has faced financial losses and legal setbacks in recent years, prompting a shift in strategy under new CEO Joanna Geraghty, as the airline aims to grow independently and improve its operational performance.
