JetBlue officially announced the termination of its partnership with Japan Airlines, effective March 31, 2026, less than a year after its inception. This strategic shift focuses JetBlue away from long-haul international partners, prioritizing strengthening its presence in Puerto Rico with five new nonstop routes starting March 2026, and ending all service to Miami to focus on more profitable routes. Separately, on December 27, 2025, JetBlue was the single most affected carrier in a travel crisis gripping the Dominican Republic, accounting for 12 cancellations and 8 delays.
