JetBlue Airways leads U.S. carriers in cancellations, reporting over 225 canceled flights on Friday. These disruptions represent a significant portion of the airline's schedule, concentrated at major airports in New York and Boston.
Severe winter storms, featuring heavy snowfall and ice, sweep across the Northeast, causing the operational challenges. The widespread disruption occurs during one of the year’s busiest travel periods.
In response, JetBlue issued a travel waiver for customers flying on December 26 and 27 to and from several Northeast airports. The waiver allows rebooking without change fees or fare differences, provided customers complete travel by December 30, 2025. The airline expects the widespread disruption to have a ripple effect across its network.
