JetBlue ditching all Mexico City routes
JetBlue says it is pulling out of the Mexico City market.
It will halt all flights to Mexico City on its four routes from early January 2020
Currently JetBlue serves the airport from Boston, New York, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale.
Demand has softened even though it has no other competition on the Boston and Fort Lauderdale routes.
"JetBlue will suspend its routes to Mexico City, with the final day of service being January 8, 2020. Exiting Mexico City will allow us to redeploy additional aircraft on our top performing routes where demand for JetBlue’s low fares is growing," the carrier said.
Customers with booked tickets will be contacted with alternative travel; options.
As the Delta-Aeromexico joint venture grows its dominance in the US-Mexico market, some other carriers like JetBlue have struggled.
In the past two years both Alaska Air and Southwest Airlines have pulled out of Mexico City.
