JetBlue Airways Co. (Nasdaq:JBLU) is the 6th largest passenger carrier in the United States based on revenue passenger miles as reported by those airlines.[1] JetBlue operates on point-to-point routes with its fleet of over 100 Airbus A320 aircraft and around 50 EMBRAER 190 aircraft — the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleet of any major U.S. airline. [1] JetBlue operates mainly in the Newark International Airport and in New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, both of which are one of the busiest domestic airports in the nation.[1] JetBlue commands around 40% of all airport traffic in New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport[1] By scheduling and operating its aircraft efficiently, JetBlue is able to spread its fixed costs over a greater number of flights and available seat miles.[1]
