JetBlue indicated that soon-to-be-discontinued routes are “underperforming” the company.

This allows us to free up resources, including our popular Mint service, to serve high-demand markets and new opportunities. Now available for redeployment,” the airline's statement said.
“In the coming weeks, we will announce how we will redeploy this capacity, including across our European network, to offer our customers even more travel options,” the company added.
