JetBlue, US Airways plan winter cuts in flight schedules
The Washington-Fort Lauderdale service will be cut from three dailies to two in January, according to schedule data listed in APGDat, Seabury Airline Planning Group's data web site. Much of the airline's growth in Washington this winter will focus on the new Dulles-Boston flights, which launch Jan. 17.
This winter, JetBlue plans to drop one daily flight each from New York JFK to Long Beach and Ontario. After the changes, the carrier will fly one service to Ontario and six to Long Beach. The airline said the transcontinental changes are only seasonal and will return in May. The carrier will also offer fewer frequencies to Buffalo and Rochester, as well as fewer flights to Tampa and Nassau.
APGDat shows that US Airways also is making cuts in its schedule, but it’s not clear if the cuts are seasonal or permanent. The airline is suspending several markets in Las Vegas and making some capacity cuts in Phoenix. As early as next month, it will stop service from Las Vegas to Austin, Spokane, San Antonio and Raleigh-Durham. The schedule also shows the airline will cut frequencies in more than 20 markets from Phoenix.
