JetBlue trimming nearly 1,300 flights through mid-January
JetBlue Airways said it is proactively cutting its schedule through mid-January due to the pressure on staffing levels. Due to a surge in crew members falling sick or having to isolate, airlines have been canceling hundreds of flights daily.
JetBlue will scrap about 1,280 flights through January 13. "We expect the number of cases in the northeast – where most of our crewmembers are based – to continue to surge for the next week or two," JetBlue said.
Airlines have also been grappling with bad weather in recent days.
