Since its failed takeover of budget carrier, Spirit, JetBlue has had to make a number of changes has it strives to return to profitability. The latest incantation of that is the new JetForward initiative. The new strategy for the carrier is to "be loved, be profitable for crewmembers, customers and owners". The new culture says the airline is bringing back humanity to air travel, although it isn't really clear how that will do that as well as making the airline profitable for both customers and owners.
Part of the plan is to axe a number of routes in January, which are in addition to the 15 bases they already announced were being dropped. The next round is dropping more than 50 routes in January 2025. These include, New York LaGuardia to Charleston, LaGuardia to Nashville, LaGuardia to Jacksonville, JFK to Burlington, LaGuardia to Denver and more. 
Boston will also see JetBlue exit at least four routes in January, this include services to Charlotte, Minneapolis St Paul, San Antonio and Baltimore-Washington. It is expected another four routes will be axed in April 2025 from Boston which will be announced in December.
As previously announced JetBlue is streamling operations by operating two aircraft types, the Airbus A220 and the A320 family of jets. That has meant the carrier is axing the Embraer Ejet fleet ahead of schedule. JetBlue says the E190s will exit the fleet completely by end of 2025.
In July 2024, JetBlue deferred the delivery of 44 Airbus A321neo aircraft from 2025 –2029 to 2030+ totaling ~$3.0B of savings, to help restore balance sheet and improve cash flow.
