Joanna Geraghty, Chief Executive Officer of JetBlue, said:
South Florida is a key market for JetBlue, and we recognize this is a challenging moment for many travelers. Our focus is on stepping up in the near term by adding service, maintaining connectivity, and keeping fares competitive, so customers can continue to travel with confidence.”
Anthony’s Take: JetBlue has not had an easy go of it lately either. I still think that United will acquire the airline, but in the interim this is a smart move and will likely garner some goodwill for JetBlue.
