WORCESTER, Mass. - An announcement is coming soon on JetBlue's future plans in Worcester.
According to sources, JetBlue will make an announcement next week at the Worcester Regional Airport.
Last month, Spectrum News 1 reported JetBlue and Massport were having "high level discussions" regarding the airline's future in the city.
In January, the U.S. Department of Transportation approved an agreement between JetBlue and American Airlines which included a stipulation that ultimately ended JetBlue's service between Worcester and JFK International in New York City. However, at the time, JetBlue said the deal didn't reflect their future plans in Worcester.
JetBlue also provided daily flights to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The airline suspended operations at Worcester indefinitely last summer because revenue and demands for air travel were down during the pandemic.
American Airlines and Delta also suspended their operations last year. Massport is looking to bring back all three airlines and are also trying to bring other airlines to Worcester.
