JetBlue on April 29 will discontinue service between Boston Logan and New York LaGuardia airports, the carrier confirmed Monday.
The move is part of the carrier's "JetForward strategy to build the best East Coast leisure network," according to a JetBlue statement. "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."
JetBlue currently operates the LaGuardia-Boston route six times daily, according to data from aviation analytics company Cirium.
JetBlue will continue to provide flights between Boston and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, according to the carrier. It currently operates the route six times daily, according to Cirium. Following the closure of the route, JetBlue "will operate 13 peak daily departures at LGA, redeploying three takeoff and landing slots to leisure markets while leasing the remaining three to another carrier."
The airline added that it remains committed to serving New York travelers and will continue discussions with the Port Authority on options to lower costs at both LaGuardia and Newark Liberty International Airport.
The news originally was reported last week by Ishrion Aviation on X.
JetBlue in a January earnings presentation listed more than 50 routes it exited in 2024 and January 2025, including LaGuardia to each Atlanta, Charleston, S.C., Denver, and Nashville, and between JFK and each Portland, Ore., San Jose, Calif., Detroit, Kansas City, Mo., and San Antonio, Texas.
Still, in January, the carrier announced new summer and year-round routes for New York's three largest airports.
Though business travel currently is not a focus for JetBlue, that segment "set records" in the fourth quarter, according to a recent earnings call.
