JetBlue Airways is implementing broad cost-cutting measures, including cutting flights, pausing upgrades to aircraft, and reducing internal spending, as it struggles to regain profitability.

JetBlue plans to reduce its capacity and cut unprofitable routes as the travel industry grapples with a slowdown in demand fueled by economic concerns. Why it matters: JetBlue has already been struggling to regain its footing after its plan to merge with Spirit Airlines was blocked by a federal judge in 2024.

In a memo to employees, CEO Joanna Geraghty said a drop-off in demand will prevent JetBlue from returning to profitability this year.
