JetBlue Airways is set to withdraw from the prominent business route between New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) by late April. This decision was initially reported by Ishrion Aviation and later verified by a JetBlue spokesperson.
The airline currently operates six daily flights on this 184-mile shuttle route, which has been part of its network since October 2016. The service uses the Embraer E190 aircraft, which JetBlue plans to retire soon.
Derek Dombrowski, a spokesperson for JetBlue, stated: "As part of our JetForward strategy to build the best East Coast leisure network, JetBlue will discontinue service between Boston Logan (BOS) and New York LaGuardia (LGA). The airport fees charged to JetBlue at LGA have risen sharply — now about $50 per traveler — which make it impossible for us to offer the low fares customers expect while maintaining profitability on this route."
