JetBlue leaving Nashville
Tuesday October 23, 11:40 am ET
JetBlue Airways is pulling out of Nashville, effective Jan. 6.
The law fare air carrier began its service in Music City in August 2006 with nonstop service between Nashville and New York.
The announcement to drop its Nashville flights comes as the carrier generated its first third-quarter profit in two years and capacity and occupancy grew.
JetBlue said it also plans to stop its service in Columbus, Ohio, also effective Jan. 6.
"We are taking the difficult but necessary step to discontinue operations in these two markets," said CEO Dave Barger in a statement. "After more than 12 months of service and a detailed review of traffic and revenue trends in these two cities, we have decided to redeploy our assets."
