JetBlue will no longer fly to San Jose, Calif., continuing a network realignment focusing on the Northeast, Florida and the Caribbean. 

JetBlue's operation in San Jose was already a small one, flying seasonal routes to Boston and New York JFK.

The carrier announced several other route cuts and will end its Mint business class service in Seattle. It will no longer fly from JFK to London Gatwick, a route JetBlue had already reduced from year-round to summer seasonal in August. 

JetBlue is chopping four other JFK routes -- to Miami, Milwaukee, Austin and Houston. It will also stop flying from Westchester County Airport in N.Y. to Charleston, S.C., and from Jacksonville to Fort Lauderdale. 

Most of the routes will end on April 30. 

The changes, said JetBlue, will allow the airline to redeploy aircraft, including Mint-equipped planes, toward "high-demand markets and new opportunities."

"In the coming weeks, we will announce how we will redeploy this capacity, including into our European network, providing even more travel options for our customers," the airline said. 

As part of its effort to return to sustainable profitability, JetBlue had previously announced exits from more than 50 routes this year as well as 15 destinations.
