JetBlue Announces Jetting to Green Environmental Initiatives

Carbon Offset Program Launched With Carbonfund.org

Partnership Launched With Airbus, Honeywell and International
Aero Engines to Research Alternative Jet Fuels
NEW YORK, May 20, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- JetBlue Airways Corporation
(Nasdaq:JBLU) today announces Jetting to Green - a suite of initiatives designed
to reduce the airline's environmental impact and make a difference within the
company, the airline industry and the communities it serves. Jetting to Green
offers JetBlue customers the opportunity to offset carbon dioxide emissions
generated by their travel through an instrumental partnership with
Carbonfund.org. The airline is also partnering with Airbus, Honeywell Aerospace
and International Aero Engines to pursue development of a sustainable
second-generation biofuel for use in commercial aircraft. The companies' joint
activity will help develop renewable energy technology to convert vegetation-
and algae-based oils into aviation fuels.

Other elements of Jetting to Green include increasing operational procedures
that minimize the airline's environmental footprint, publishing an environmental
and social report, and connecting crewmembers and customers with opportunities
to volunteer and make a difference in their own neighborhoods. Complete program
details can be found at www.jetblue.com/green. JetBlue is celebrating the
program by conducting a Jetting to Green sweepstakes with the opportunity to win
a Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle and other green prizes.

"Jetting to Green is an environmental campaign with a comprehensive approach,"
said Icema Gibbs, director of community relations for JetBlue Airways. "The
program invites our customers to join us as we take immediate action to reduce
our environmental impact through volunteerism and carbon offsetting, but it also
promotes environmental improvements for the future through educational
initiatives and industry research and development. Together we can begin to
affect change and make a difference for our planet, and Jetting to Green
provides the vehicle for JetBlue and our customers to do just that."

Partnership with Carbonfund.org

Jetting to Green includes a partnership with Carbonfund.org, a nonprofit
organization that allows customers to offset carbon dioxide emissions generated
by their individual air travel with carbon offsets. Upon completing their
JetBlue itinerary online, customers will have the option to link directly to
www.carbonfund.org/jetblue to offset their flight's carbon footprint. Customers
will be able to calculate the carbon footprint for their flight using a Flight
Calculator or donate and offset their travel by choosing one of two preset
options that start at $5.00 per roundtrip flight. All contributions are tax
deductible.

Customers' donations will support a portfolio of environmental projects in
select states currently served by JetBlue. Donations will further the
development of wind power in Texas, assist with the capture of methane gas from
landfills in Upstate New York, and continue reforestation efforts on 1,100 acres
in Louisiana, which will restore native trees and protect local wildlife.

In addition to offering customers the opportunity to support carbon offset
projects, JetBlue has committed to offset carbon dioxide emissions generated by
the airline's crewmembers traveling for corporate business in 2008. This will
fund the planting of approximately 11,200 trees in Louisiana, creating a 40-acre
forest.

"JetBlue is not just offsetting its own corporate emissions, but is empowering
those who fly JetBlue to do the same," said Eric Carlson, executive director of
Carbonfund.org. "As a business, JetBlue has always been one of the leading
innovators in its industry. Now it's taking that innovation to the fight against
global climate change."

Alternative Fuel Partnership

JetBlue has partnered with Airbus, Honeywell Aerospace and International Aero
Engines to pursue development of a sustainable biofuel for use in commercial
aircraft. The goal of the partnership is to develop an alternative jet fuel
derived from renewable biomass sources - known as second-generation biofuels -
that do not compete with existing food production. Research and testing will
focus on the conversion of biological materials into aviation fuel that performs
identically to or as a blend component with traditional fuels while meeting the
stringent performance specifications for commercial aircraft flight.

Along with reducing the airline industry's impact on the global environment and
reliance on petroleum-based fuel, using second-generation biofuels offer
potential environmental advantages that include reduced emissions and carbon
footprint.

Jetting to Green Sweepstakes

To celebrate the launch of Jetting to Green, JetBlue is offering a chance to win
