Uncertain Economic Environment and Events Pressure Demand Extensive sale activity pressuring yields during peak travel periods, especially in transcon markets H1N1 outbreak has negatively impacted bookings across the industry Mexico (Cancun) represents 1.7% of JetBlue's ASMs Implemented Cancun schedule adjustments in response to lower demand Traveler concerns about H1N1 appear to be having a disproportionate negative impact on overall demand for air travel As a result of continued economic uncertainty and the impact of H1N1: JetBlue expects a negative impact of four percentage points of RASM and PRASM in the second quarter vs. previously issued guidance. (For the second quarter, JetBlue expects RASM to decline between four and seven percent year over year and PRASM to decline between six and nine percent year over year.) JetBlue expects a negative impact of three percentage points of RASM and PRASM in the full year vs. previously issued guidance. (For the full year, JetBlue expects RASM to decline between two and five percent year over year and PRASM to decline between four and seven percent year over year.)

Lower Fuel Prices Have Offset Revenue Decline Oil acting as a natural hedge against the demand environment Forward curve remains in contango JetBlue currently not hedging future fuel consumption: approximately 7% of remaining 2009 projected fuel consumption is hedged As a result, JetBlue continues to benefit from lower fuel prices JetBlue estimates an operating margin between 6-8% for the second quarter and between 9-11% for the full year 2009 JetBlue estimates a pre-tax operating margin of (1)-1% for the second quarter and 3-5% for the full year 2009 Note: Estimates based on the forward curve as of May 19, 2009
