JetBlue is ending all service to Miami International Airport (MIA) after September 2, officially closing the chapter on an ambitious yet short-lived foray into one of the nation’s most competitive hubs.
The airline’s only remaining MIA route—an increasingly infrequent flight to Boston—has been removed from sale, marking the end of JetBlue’s Miami footprint just four years after its debut.

In tandem with the Miami exit, JetBlue will suspend all flights to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) between late October 2025 and April 2026—shuttering a once-promising transcontinental link during the winter season.
The move is part of a broader belt-tightening strategy outlined in an internal memo this week by JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty, as first reported by aviation watcher @xJonNYC.
“We continue to look for opportunities to wind down underperforming routes and shift flying to places with profit potential,” Geraghty told crewmembers. “While it’s always disappointing to end service, it opens the door for us to find new routes to fly.”
Miami Departure Ends a Short-Lived Gamble
JetBlue launched operations to Miami in early 2021, targeting sun-seeking leisure travelers as the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped travel patterns. At its peak, the airline operated up to 14 daily flights to destinations including Boston, New York-JFK, Newark, Hartford, and Los Angeles. Its Mint business class even featured on the MIA–LAX route.
Over the past two years, however, routes were steadily trimmed. As of this summer, the airline operated just one daily flight to Boston. That service will end on September 2.
