JetBlue to trim new UK flights, stung by travel restrictions

JetBlue Airways Corp. has yet to start New York-London service and already has been forced to trim the schedule as travel restrictions hobble demand.

"We’ve all been very frustrated the corridor hasn’t opened,” Chief Executive Robin Hayes said Tuesday. "There’s no reason not to open it. It’s not data driven.” The carrier will fly its once daily route between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and London’s Heathrow starting Aug. 11 but will "bring down some of the flying” in September, he said on a quarterly earnings call.
