JetBlue Suspends Airline Service to Detroit, 15 Other U.S. Destinations
DETROIT – JetBlue will not fly in or out of Detroit Metro Airport until October.
The U.S. Department of Transportation on Tuesday granted the airline’s request to suspend service to Detroit and 15 other major U.S. cities through Sept. 30.
In its request, JetBlue cited “extremely low demand” at the airports due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic that has resulted in stay home orders in Michigan and other states.
