Summary

JetBlue Airways is preparing to cut scores of weekly flights in the New York City area this spring and summer due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. The Federal Aviation Administration unveiled a new plan to reduce flight requirements by up to 10% for airlines' takeoff and landing rights to avoid congestion in the area. This measure will have a significant financial impact on JetBlue and its customers, as the vast majority of its flights take off from or land in the city or transit its airspace. Other airlines, such as Delta and United, have also requested waivers for slot or operating times at major airports in the area.
