WORCESTER, MA — An airline industry publication is reporting that JetBlue will cut thousands of flights this month, including routes to and from Worcester Airport.

According to Simple Flying, JetBlue will cut flights between Worcester and Orlando in July, a reduction of 31 total flights.

A JetBlue spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday about the possible Worcester cut. Simple Flying reported that the discount airline is cutting more than 2,400 flights between June and September across the nation.
