JetBlue suspending direct flights from Sacramento to two major cities
(FOX40.COM) — JetBlue will not be offering direct flights from the Sacramento International Airport to two cities on the East Coast later this year.
A spokesperson from the airline told FOX40.com it will suspend direct flights from SMF to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City and Logan International Airport in Boston for the winter season starting Oct. 27.
JetBlue said the suspended service is part of a “larger effort to refocus our network.”
“JetBlue is constantly evaluating our routes to best serve our customers, return our airline to profitability, and find ways to improve our reliability,” the airline said in a statement.

SMF officials told FOX40.com they were informed by JetBlue that its JFK service was only seasonal and a return date to service is not known at this time.
The direct flight to Boston was the only nonstop destination to Massachusetts from SMF, according to the airport’s website.
The next closest direct flight from Sacramento to New York is Newark, New Jersey, which is offered through United.
