The founder of JetBlue has been removed from his post as CEO following February’s costly service disruption when the company was forced to cancel more than 1,000 flights as a result of snow storms.The airline’s services ground to a halt after a storm in New York, and this left customers and flight crews stranded.

JetBlue said David Neeleman will stay on as non-executive chairman and take on a more strategic role.

The companies head of operations, Dave Barger will take over, effective immediately.
