  • Jetblue-2009-Annual-Report.Pdf
    jetblue.com 2009 Dear Fellow Shareholders, Despite a very challenging environment, 2009 was a successful year for JetBlue as we reported four consecutive quarters of profitability – one of only a few U.S. airlines to do so. We generated net income of $58 million and an operating margin of 8.5% – an improvement of more than $140 million compared to 2008. We ended the year with over $1 billion in cash and short term investments – one of the strongest liquidity positions in the U.S. airline industry relative to our revenues. Additionally, JetBlue generated positive free cash flow for the first time in our history. These results demonstrate the benefits of our disciplined growth strategy, driving our highest net income since 2003. We remain committed to striving to build long term shareholder value through sustainable growth and positive free cash flow. This commitment drives our focus on managing capital expenditures, rationalizing capacity, maximizing revenue and controlling costs while preserving and expanding our unique brand and culture. The JetBlue Brand and Culture We celebrated the 10th anniversary of our first flight on February 11, 2010 – a significant accomplishment given that few airlines since airline deregulation in 1978 have been able to reach their ten year mark as healthy, stand-alone enterprises. We continue to be recognized for exceptional customer service. For the fifth year in a row, JetBlue achieved the number one customer service ranking among low cost carriers by J.D. Power and Associates. This coveted award, along with many others received in 2009, serves as a testament to our 12,000 crewmembers and the strength of our brand.

  • Jblu2008annual-Report.Pdf
    2008 Dear Fellow Shareholders, 2008 was a challenging year for the airline industry as high fuel prices and a weakening economy transformed the landscape. Fuel prices reached record levels, forcing airlines around the world to cease operations, seek financial protection and consolidate. Despite these challenges, 2008 was a successful year for JetBlue. We took action on multiple fronts to manage the impact of high fuel prices and an uncertain economic environment, while continuing to provide our customers with the award-winning product and service we are known for. As a result of these efforts, we led the industry in unit revenue growth throughout the year. Our strong revenue performance, however, did not keep pace with the unprecedented spike in fuel prices, which cost us an additional $400 million compared to 2007. Yet, despite record fuel prices and turmoil in the financial markets, we ended the year with one of the strongest liquidity positions, relative to our size, in the industry. The JetBlue Experience In 2008, we marked the beginning of a new chapter in JetBlue’s history with the opening of our new Terminal 5 facility at JFK Airport. This project, a partnership with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, involved six years of planning and construction and includes 26 gates, new roadways, a parking structure, and a connector to the AirTrain. As the seventh largest airline in the United States, we are truly excited to be able to offer our customers and our crewmembers a world-class airport experience at our home base of operations. We believe we have a tremendous advantage being based in New York, the largest travel market in the world, and Terminal 5 gives us the opportunity to provide superior customer service on the ground that matches our award-winning experience in the air.

  • Aircraft Operations Based Mission Requirements
    50th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition AIAA 2012-0397 09 - 12 January 2012, Nashville, Tennessee Aircraft Operations Based Mission Requirements ∗ Robert A. McDonald California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA, 93407 The mission capabilities of aircraft in the current commercial fleet are a combined re- sult of many factors. The launch customer for each aircraft has a voice in determining the requirements. The manufacturer desires to best position the aircraft in the market considering their own aircraft and their competitors aircraft it will replace and compete with. Consequently, anyone considering the development of an aircraft to compete with or replace an aircraft in-service must do more than simply choose to meet the capabili- ties of that aircraft. This is especially true when unconventional systems are considered; the fundamental tradeoffs for these systems may dramatically alter the cost/benefit for a given capability set. Data representing current operational practice for two aircraft in the commercial fleet are presented with an intent of establishing requirements for future aircraft. I. Introduction he aircraft design process has historically been viewed as starting with a statement of specifications Tor requirements for a new vehicle.1, 2 This mode of operation was largely reinforced by the government 3 acquisition and systems engineering processes. Recent design texts emphasize the importance of questioning 4 the requirements, but the process of setting the requirements is generally considered beyond the scope of the aircraft design process. Proper establishment of the requirements has profound implications for the capabilities of the vehicle and its potential for success.

    1 1997-2012 Update to FAA Historical Chronology: Civil Aviation and the Federal Government, 1926-1996 (Washington, DC: Federal Aviation Administration, 1998) 1997 January 2, 1997: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an airworthiness directive requiring operators to adopt procedures enabling the flight crew to reestablish control of a Boeing 737 experiencing an uncommanded yaw or roll – the phenomenon believed to have brought down USAir Flight 427 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1994. Pilots were told to lower the nose of their aircraft, maximize power, and not attempt to maintain assigned altitudes. (See August 22, 1996; January 15, 1997.) January 6, 1997: Illinois Governor Jim Edgar and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley announced a compromise under which the city would reopen Meigs Field and operate the airport for five years. After that, Chicago would be free to close the airport. January 6, 1997: FAA announced the appointment of William Albee as aircraft noise ombudsman, a new position mandated by the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-264). (See September 30, 1996.) January 7, 1997: Dredging resumed in the search for clues in the TWA Flight 800 crash. The operation had been suspended in mid-December 1996. (See July 17, 1996; May 4, 1997.) January 9, 1997: A Comair Embraer 120 stalled in snowy weather and crashed 18 miles short of Detroit [Michigan] Metropolitan Airport, killing all 29 aboard. (See May 12, 1997; August 27, 1998.) January 14, 1997: In a conference sponsored by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security and held in Washington, DC, at George Washington University, airline executives called upon the Clinton Administration to privatize key functions of FAA and to install a nonprofit, airline-organized cooperative that would manage security issues.
