However, JetBlue offers consumers much more than reasonable flights. In an effort to promote more benefits of flying with JetBlue, JetPerks campaign will promote JetPaws, CoatChex, and in-flight DIRECTV, three convenient services that consumers will be able to take advantage of on every flight. In addition, the JetPerks campaign will make an extensive effort to gain more traction and consumers through large-scale social media efforts. The JetPerks campaign will begin on February 14, 2015 and continue through July 5, 2015. The goal of the campaign is to inform consumers about the additional benefits that JetBlue has to offer, and subsequently reach more consumers. Throughout the process, the campaign will use a combination of videos, hashtags, and blog posts to distribute the information over social media. Keywords/ Messages JetBlue is committed to providing the highest quality service, which can be seen through several key messages: Above all other standards, safety is JetBlue’s number one priority.

Keywords for JetPerks Campaign: COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL 1 Airline/ Airplane Flight/ Vacation Pets/ Pet Travel Live TV JetPaws DIRECTV CoatChex JetPerks Strategies In order to promote JetBlue’s JetPaws, CoatChex, and in-flight DIRECTV services effectively, there are two strategies that must be implemented: Increase awareness through a strong social media presence, specifically Twitter, including circulating hashtags and creating images. Produce and circulate six short entertaining videos over the six-month period depicting each of the three services and how they are convenient and useful for consumers. Approach Strategy #1: Increase Social Media Presence Goal: JetBlue Airlines will use social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest to begin circulating the JetPerks Campaign. Tactics: Twitter: Because JetBlue already has 1.9 million followers, it will likely be most necessary to concentrate on trending hashtags on Twitter. JetBlue will create hashtags for each service it is trying to promote and begin to circulate them on Twitter. The hashtags will include: ‘#JetPerks ’, ‘#CoatChex’ ‘#JetPaws’ and ‘#DIRECTV’. Posts will be made 4-5 times per week. Each post will also contain a link to related content. Facebook: JetBlue also has a significant Facebook following with nearly 1.1 million likes. The campaign will use Facebook to post creative images that promote each of the three service that are being promoted two to three times per week. Each image will contain a quality that may catch a viewer’s attention, such as humor or a clever headline. COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL 2 Pinterest: Currently, JetBlue does not have a significant following on Pinterest. However, developing one could benefit the campaign greatly. JetBlue will use the same images that will be posted to Facebook. However, JetBlue will also incorporate other “boards” such as a “Destinations” and “Aircraft” boards in order to continue building a following. In addition, JetBlue will also take full advantage of any holidays in order to reach more followers and gain more traction among consumers. JetBlue’s digital team will also work to film three 10-15 second clips that showcase each service. Each clip will circulate across each social media outlet. This will be further discussed in the next strategy. Audience: JetBlue is targeting social media users who are at least 25 years old. The reason that the target audience is at least 25, is because they must have the financial means to purchase an airplane ticket. Images and blog posts about CoatChex will target audiences on the east coast of the United States. Target Media: The target media will be Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. Strategy #2: Create Showcase Video Clips Goal: The digital team at JetBlue will produce a series of three video clips that will be circulated throughout social media. Tactics: Videos 1-4: JetBlue JetPerks JetBlue JetPerks will demonstrate the usefulness of JetPaws, CoatChex and free DIRECTV. The purpose of these videos will be to get information to consumers as thoroughly and quickly as possible. Video 1 will also serve as the campaign launch video. Video 5: JetPerks: JetPaws Adventure The JetPaws Adventure video will begin by showing a puppy that thinks that he will be left at home while his owner goes on vacation. However, his owner took advantage of JetBlue’s free service, JetPaws, and the puppy arrives in a new city excited to be a part of the adventure. The catch phrase will be JetPaws: Share Your Adventure. Video 6: JetPerks: CoatChex COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL 3 JetPerks: CoatChex will be an informational video directed specifically at east coast audiences. The video will offer all of the details needed to successfully use the service. Audience: JetBlue is targeting social media users who are at least 25 years old. The reason that the target audience is at least 25, is because they must have the financial means to purchase an airplane ticket. Images and blog posts about CoatChex will target audiences on the east coast of the United States. Target Media: The target media will be Twitter, Facebook, and Vine. Proposed Timeline *Twitter posts will be maintained four to five times per week. *Pinterest and Facebook posts will be maintained two to three times per week. Date Event Name Details Feb 14 Campaign Launch Campaign launch will begin by posting the first JetBlue JetPerks video, as well as commencing the social media push with additional blog posts to each social media outlet. Feb 14 Valentine’s Day Social Because February 14th is also Valentine Day, JetBlue Media Blitz will incorporate “love” themed posts in order to generate awareness and traction. Feb 18 JetPerks: JetPaws Video will launch across all social media outlets Adventure Launch Feb 23 CoatChex Information Video will launch across all social media outlets Video Launch March 2 JetPerks Video 2 Launch Video will launch across all social media outlets March 6 Employee Appreciation JetBlue will incorporate gratitude towards employees Day in order to generate awareness and traction.

July 5 Last Campaign Day The campaign has come to an end. Budget Given the simplicity of this campaign, the budget for JetBlue Airlines JetPerks campaign is estimated to be: Social Media Cost: $0 Video Creation: $6,000 Image Creation: $500 Total estimated rage for six-month campaign: $6,500 Measurement Criteria Measure effectiveness through number of “re-Tweets”, “likes” and “shares”.

  • 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.

Three years ago, we set out with the very simple goal of bringing humanity back to air travel by combining product innovation with excellent service and communication. Today, having carried more than twelve million Customers, we are clearly delivering on our objectives. Our approach is straightforward: with a radical application of common sense, we aim to give Customers the things they want, and nothing they don't. The JetBlue experience is refreshingly easy and comfortable: satellite television at every leather seat, new planes, easy-to-understand low fares and 20 desirable destinations, all delivered by friendly Crewmembers who believe in service. 2002, our first year as a public company, was an important year for the airline and a significant one in the industry. In April, JetBlue was listed on NASDAQ through our initial public offering. Notably, a significant percentage of Crewmembers are investing in the company's future as stockholders via our stock purchase plan. Our first annual meeting will take place on May 21, 2003 in our hometown, New York, and we look forward to welcoming many of you there. We thank you for your confidence in our company. Last year, JetBlue carried more than 5.75 million Customers to 20 cities throughout the U.S., proving that the airline experience can indeed be a very positive part of travel. We are clearly delivering an innovative product. We are now known across the country for our fleet of 41 new Airbus A320 jets, each individually named by our Crewmembers (such as Blue Crew, Red White & Blue, and Song Sung Blue).

  • Jetblue's Refreshed Mint® Experience Takes Premium Travel to New
    ShareThis JetBlue’s Refreshed Mint® Experience Takes Premium Travel to New Heights with Thoughtfully Curated Dining and Hospitality, Sleep and Wellness Offerings Released : 11/17/2020 Delicious Hospitality Group, Tuft & Needle, Wanderfuel and Master & Dynamic to take off on Mint-operated flights NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced the first major refresh of its JetBlue Mint® service, the airline’s premium travel experience that disrupted the industry with its category redefining fares and award-winning product. The airline, which made highly curated partners central to the Mint experience, is introducing a completely new lineup for Mint, including Delicious Hospitality Group, Tuft & Needle, Wanderfuel and Master & Dynamic. The new partners will transition into all Mint flights over the next six weeks, appearing on flights as early as November 18. When it was introduced in 2014, JetBlue Mint disrupted the domestic “business class” category, making premium travel more accessible for a fraction of the cost that legacy carriers were charging. Now, the refresh of JetBlue’s Mint partnerships sets the stage for the biggest shake-up yet of the premium category when, next year, JetBlue unveils its fully reimagined version of Mint for its London service in 2021. “JetBlue’s reimagined Mint is turning the journey itself into a destination, offering the comforts of a premium travel experience at a more affordable price point,” said Elizabeth Windram, vice president of marketing, JetBlue. “This onboard refresh allows us to reset that high bar we set in 2014, with the very best in dining and hospitality, comfort and wellness at 35,000 feet.
