JetBlue Reportedly Suspends Flights at Worcester Regional Airport
JetBlue is suspending flights from Worcester Regional Airport, according to media reports.
Commercial flights will be suspended starting Thursday and until further notice, according to Spectrum News.
JetBlue has been flying from Worcester since 2013, offering flights first to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando and then adding New York. Then, American Airlines began offering flights to Philadelphia and Delta started offering trips to Detroit. Before Massport purchased the airport in 2010, it was eyed for closure.
This means there will be diminished activity at the airport. Both JetBlue and American Airlines were granted exemptions to suspend flights in June amid the coronavirus pandemic. And earlier this month, Delta Air Lines reported to Massport that it was suspending operations in Worcester in October.
Massport directed questions about JetBlue service to the company. JetBlue did not immediately respond to a request for more information.
The Worcester Regional Airport website shows no arriving or departing flights within the next 20 hours.
Over the summer, the Federal Aviation Administration announced the airport was receiving a $5 million grant to rehabilitate a runway.
