JetBlue considers whether to leave NYC and move to Florida
JetBlue Airways is considering whether to stay in New York, where it was founded two decades ago, or move its headquarters to Florida.
A spokeswoman for the airline said Thursday that a decision is expected later this year. She said more than 1,300 employees work at the headquarters in Long Island City, across the East River from Manhattan.
The airline said in a statement that its current lease in expires in July 2023 and it is reviewing its options “and considering how our space requirements may evolve in a hybrid work environment post-pandemic.”
