Focus city

The focus cities of JetBlue are Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Long Beach, New York (JFK), Orlando and San Juan[1]

In the airline industry, a focus city is a destination from which an airline operates several point-to-point routes.[2] Thus, a focus city primarily caters to the local market rather than to connecting passengers.[3][4] However, with the term's expanded usage, a focus city may also function as a small-scale hub.[2] Allegiant Air, JetBlue and Frontier Airlines are examples of airlines that consider some of their destinations to be focus cities.[1][5]
