Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 25, 2013, JetBlue Airways Corporation (the “Company”) entered into amendments to its aircraft purchase and letter agreements with Airbus S.A.S. and with Embraer S.A. The agreements with Embraer S.A. defer the scheduled delivery of 24 Embraer 190 aircraft from 2014-2018 to 2020-2022. The Airbus amendments convert 18 Airbus A320 positions to A321s and provide for the purchase of an incremental order of 15 A321ceo and 20 A321neo aircraft. The amendments modify various customary aircraft purchase agreement terms, including delivery schedules, price escalation, cancellation rights and conversion rights. The 2013 average list prices for the incremental Airbus A321ceo and A321neo aircraft (excluding conversions) total approximately $3.9 billion.
