On October 14, 2025, JetBlue Airways, along with other major U.S. carriers, experienced significant operational disruptions, with hundreds of flights canceled and thousands delayed nationwide. The widespread travel chaos was attributed to a combination of a powerful Nor'easter causing severe weather on the East Coast and logistical challenges from an ongoing U.S. government shutdown. Airports in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, including major hubs like Boston and New York, were heavily impacted. In the days leading up to this, JetBlue had issued travel waivers for numerous airports in the affected regions, allowing customers to rebook their flights to avoid the storm.
