JetBlue Airways Again Ranked 'Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among Low-Cost
Carriers in North America' by J.D. Power and Associates

- A customer satisfaction recognition received for the fifth year in a row -

NEW YORK, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- New York's hometown airline
JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU) today was awarded highest honors in airline
customer satisfaction among low-cost carriers for the fourth year in a row by
J.D. Power and Associates 2009 North America Airline Satisfaction Study(SM).
This is the fifth consecutive customer satisfaction award JetBlue has received
from J.D. Power and Associates. The value airline ranked highest in
satisfaction among low-cost airlines in 2008, 2007 and 2006, and among all
U.S. major airlines in 2005, when low-cost and traditional network carriers
were combined in a single category.

"From our home in New York to every city we serve across the United States,
the Caribbean and Latin America, the JetBlue spirit of customer service is
strong," said Dave Barger, president and CEO of JetBlue Airways. "Customers
recognize that a leading formula is more than great fares, more than advanced
technology on comfortable airplanes and more than celebrated destinations --
it's also about people dedicated to providing exceptional service to one
customer at a time. The 12,000 crewmembers here at JetBlue work hard every day
to carry out this mission."

The J.D. Power and Associates 2009 North America Airline Satisfaction
Study(SM) is based on responses from 12,952 business and leisure passengers
who flew on a North American airline between April 2008 and May 2009. Overall
customer satisfaction is measured based on performance in seven factors (in
order of importance): cost and fees; flight crew; in-flight services;
aircraft; boarding/deplaning/baggage; check-in; and reservation.

JetBlue prides itself on offering more value to customers by offering a first
checked bag free of charge, unlimited complimentary in-flight snacks, and a
live in-flight entertainment system boasting 36 channels of free DIRECTV(r)
programming and more than 100 channels of free XM Satellite Radio(r) at every
comfortable leather seat (a). Customers can kick back and enjoy the live
entertainment in JetBlue's spacious aircraft cabins, which offer the most
legroom in coach of any U.S. airline (b).
