Economy Airline to Pull All Flights from Minnesota
Minnesota will soon have one less airline providing service to travelers, as one economy airline has made the decision to pull out of the state.
Minnesota currently has over a dozen airlines that serve the state, including Delta, United, American, and low-cost carriers like Sun Country, Allegiant, and JetBlue, also service the state, but one of those will no longer fly into or out of Minnesota.

JetBlue has decided that serving Minnesota is no longer worth it, and has instead added more flights to the New England area of the United States. Starting October 26th, JetBlue will no longer service Minnesota, and any flights booked after that date will be refunded.
This move is expected to have minimal impact on travelers, as JetBlue operates only one route to the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP). The sole flight they run in Minnesota is between Minneapolis and Boston's Logan International Airport, a route that began in 2018.
According to ThePointsGuy.com, MSP isn't the only airport losing JetBlue, Charlotte, San Antonio, Hollywood Burbank Airport, Palm Springs International Airport, Tallahassee International Airport, and Pointe-a-Pitre International Airport.
Along with pulling out of those airports, JetBlue has also made the decision to get rid of 18 routes throughout its remaining locations around the country.
All these moves come as JetBlue is facing some serious finical problems, the airline hasn't managed to make a profit since the pandemic. Despite record amounts of travel, many airlines are struggling to turn a profit due to stiff competition within the industry.
