Fighting to keep JetBlue flight to Florida

Posted: Updated:
BURLINGTON, Vt. -

Local officials hope to persuade JetBlue representatives to reverse their decision to cut the Burlington to Orlando, Fla., flight.

JetBlue announced last month it will cut the daily nonstop connection that runs between 85 and 92 percent full. Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger, Vt. Secretary of Transportation Brian Searles and Interim Airport Manager Gene Richards were among some of the meeting attendees.

According to the Burlington Free Press, in July a JetBlue spokesperson said the daily flights didn't fill enough seats to generate sustainable profits.
