Saint Lucia, located in the eastern Caribbean, is one of 13 international
locations on JetBlue's expanding route map, and one of the more than 50
destinations throughout North, South, and Central America with JetBlue
service. In addition to its new Saint Lucia flights, JetBlue will also begin
new service to Montego Bay, Jamaica on May 21 and to Bridgetown, Barbados on
October 1 (also subject to receipt of government operating authority).

"We're pleased to be growing in the Caribbean region yet again with new
flights between New York and Saint Lucia," said Scott Laurence, JetBlue's vice
president of network planning. "JetBlue is proud to bring to the eastern
Caribbean what we believe is the best airline product in the Americas. We look
forward to introducing Saint Lucians to a refreshing kind of air travel
experience, with low fares, new aircraft, delicious (and free) snacks and
drinks, complimentary seatback television programming and some of the
friendliest crewmembers in the skies."

Senator Allen Chastanet, Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation for the
Government of Saint Lucia said he was very excited at the introduction of new
JetBlue service to Saint Lucia from the largest market in the United States:
"JetBlue is rapidly becoming a major player in the U.S. airline industry and
has great plans for the Caribbean. We are happy to be one of the first
destinations in the eastern Caribbean to be served by JetBlue. We do not see
JetBlue as competition to existing US carriers but as opening up a brand new
market for Saint Lucia."

JetBlue intends to operate its Saint Lucia service with spacious 150-seat
Airbus A320 aircraft. The A320 offers travelers all of the amenities for
which JetBlue has become well-regarded: complimentary seatback television
programming including free first-run movies, comfortable leather seats, the
most legroom in coach of any U.S. airline (a), unlimited free snacks and
industry-leading customer service.
