JetBlue has announced it will not continue its New York JFK to London Gatwick flights next year, effectively reducing its operations at London's second-largest airport. This route began in September 2021 as JetBlue's second transatlantic service following the launch of JFK-London Heathrow flights.
With Heathrow's known slot limitations, it remains uncertain what steps JetBlue might take to offset the loss of services at Gatwick. The airline is expected to have reduced capacity on the JFK-London route, which could lead to improved loads and performance but decreased competitiveness.
This decision is part of JetBlue's recent series of route eliminations under its JetForward program aimed at financial recovery. A decrease in focus on European routes had been anticipated for some time. Currently, there is no indication that the Boston-Gatwick service, which operates seasonally during summer, will be affected.
