The airline industry's perpetual dance of route optimization has claimed another casualty, as JetBlue Airways Corporation announces its decision to axe the Florida-New York route, a move that will undoubtedly send ripples through the travel plans of many.

Meanwhile, other routes will be feeling the pinch, including the Boston-Dallas / Fort Worth leg, which will also be discontinued.
