JetBlue dips as it plans to cut flights and pause retrofits

Shares of JetBlue were trading down more than 4% on Tuesday morning after CEO Joanna Geraghty informed staff that the carrier would be implementing further cost cuts.

In its effort to streamline, JetBlue said it will cut flights, pause retrofits, and park some of its planes.

JetBlue’s “path back to profitability will take longer than we’d hoped,” Geraghty wrote in a memo. The carrier’s attempt to buy budget rival Spirit Airlines was blocked by the Biden administration last year.

The airline’s shares are down 44% so far this year.

US plane maker Boeing delivered 44 jets in November, marking a 17% dip from October but a drastic recovery from its 13 deliveries in the same month last year amid its machinists’ strike.

Boeing, which closed its $4.7 billion acquisition of key supplier Spirit AeroSystems on Monday, has delivered 537 jets year to date in 2025, significantly ahead of the 348 it delivered last year. Earlier this month, the company said its recovery was “in full force” and it expects positive free cash flow in 2026.

European rival Airbus expanded its annual delivery lead in the month, handing 72 jets over to customers. The manufacturer has made 657 deliveries on the year so far, but recently cut its annual delivery target to 790 from 820 due to quality issues.
