JetBlue Streamlines Flight Network, Trims Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale Routes

JetBlue Airways is cutting several routes, reducing departures from Los Angeles International Airport and ending flights to various destinations, as part of its efforts to lower costs and improve financial performance. The airline is focusing on profitable transcontinental routes and "bread and butter" routes along the East Coast, as well as Caribbean vacation destinations. This move comes as JetBlue faces pressure to reduce expenses and return to profitability after a failed acquisition attempt and engine issues.
