JetBlue Airways has secured 12 round-trip flight slots at New York's LaGuardia Airport, previously held by the collapsed Spirit Airlines. JetBlue is also considering moving back into Spirit's old Terminal A, the Marine Air Terminal, with expansion plans set for 2027.
JetBlue Airways will close its flight attendant base at Newark Liberty International Airport and tech operations bases in Newark and LaGuardia this fall to cut costs and expand service in Florida. No staff will lose their jobs, with employees able to bid or transfer.
A sinkhole discovered near Runway 4/22 at New York's LaGuardia Airport led to its immediate closure on Wednesday, causing flight delays and cancellations. Emergency crews are on-site for repairs, with thunderstorms also contributing to air traffic disruptions ahead of the busy Memorial Day travel period.
