JetBlue to exit Miami International Airport in September

JetBlue Airways is pulling out of Miami International Airport (MIA), with its final flight scheduled for September 3, 2025, as the airline continues to trim underperforming routes from its network.

The New York-based carrier confirmed the move in a June 21 statement, citing the low profitability of its sole route out of MIA — a one- to two-times-daily service to Boston Logan International Airport. The airline says customers affected by the cancellation will be offered either a full refund or the option to rebook through nearby Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, where JetBlue maintains a larger operation.

“To free aircraft for new routes, we’ve recently made the decision to end a small number of unprofitable flights, including between Boston and Miami,” a JetBlue spokesperson said. “We continually evaluate how our network is performing and make changes as needed.”

JetBlue’s presence at MIA peaked in 2021 when it operated up to 14 daily flights during its brief partnership with American Airlines. That alliance has since ended, and JetBlue’s footprint at the airport has steadily declined.

The airline’s strategic shift comes amid a broader network overhaul. JetBlue has canceled several domestic and international routes in recent months, including service from Buffalo to West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale to Jacksonville. In 2024, it scrapped flights between Tallahassee and Fort Lauderdale, shortly after a proposed merger with Spirit Airlines collapsed following a U.S. Department of Justice antitrust lawsuit.

Despite the MIA exit, JetBlue remains active in South Florida, with robust operations in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. The airline has also partnered with Brightline, a high-speed rail service, offering travelers more flexibility in reaching key Florida destinations.
