💨 Abstract

JetBlue Airways is implementing cost-cutting measures due to lower-than-expected travel demand, making it unlikely to achieve operational profitability this year. The airline will reduce off-peak flights and non-profitable routes, pause modernization plans for some aircraft, and reassess hiring and leadership roles. Overall, JetBlue will continue relying on borrowed funds to stay operational. The industry-wide trend of reducing capacity is driven by unexpected softness in domestic bookings and declining fares.
