JetBlue Airways is eliminating a number of unprofitable routes to destinations in the U.S. and overseas as it moves to cut costs after a judge blocked its $3.8 billion bid for Spirit Airlines earlier this year.

The airline will also completely exit Kansas City, Missouri and Newburgh, New York.

In a statement to CBS News, the airline said its removal of certain routes will reduce “the chance of delays for our customers.” The cuts will also free up aircraft to fly more profitable routes. 

It also cited limited aircraft as a driver of the route cuts. About a dozen Airbus aircraft remain grounded over issues with their Pratt and Whitney engines, which are currently undergoing inspection.

“With less aircraft time available and the need to improve our financial performance, more than ever, every route has to earn its right to stay in the network,” Dave Jehn JetBlue’s VP of network planning and airline partnerships said in an internal memo viewed by CBS News. 

In addition to the two U.S. cities, the airline is also ditching international cities Bogotá, Colombia; Quito, Ecuador and Lima, Peru.

Here are the routes JetBlue is cutting

  • Aguadilla to Tampa 
  • Fort Lauderdale to Atlanta
  • Fort Lauderdale to Austin
  • Fort Lauderdale to Nashville
  • Fort Lauderdale to New Orleans
  • Fort Lauderdale to Salt Lake City  
  • Los Angeles to Cancun
  • Los Angeles to Las Vegas
  • Los Angeles to Liberia
  • Los Angeles to Miami
  • Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta
  • Los Angeles to Reno
  • Los Angeles to San Francisco
  • Los Angeles to Seattle 
  • New York/JFK to Detroit  
  • Orlando to Salt Lake City

A look inside Gaza as cease-fire talks to resume in the 9-month war between Israel and Hamas – CBS News

New cease-fire talks are scheduled to begin this week in the war between Israel and Hamas. Last week, for the first time, Israel’s military took foreign journalists into the city of Rafah. Israel says it had to go into the city near the border with Egypt because Hamas’s four remaining battalions were hiding there. Israel’s military claims it’s killed more than 900 militants in the city; however, it’s also killed civilians.
