ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On February 14, 2007, an ice storm hit the New York metropolitan area that
adversely affected JetBlue Airways Corporation's operations. The irregular
operations caused by the storm were exacerbated initially by an insufficient
flight cancellation plan and then by infrastructure issues which resulted in
additional delays and cancellations through February 19, 2007. Beginning on
February 14 and over the following five days, we cancelled approximately 1,200
scheduled flights. Yesterday, JetBlue completed 100% of its scheduled flights.

On February 21, 2007, as a result of the impact of the February 14 storm and
related recovery period, we updated our previously issued earnings guidance via
a press release. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.

                        JETBLUE REVISES EARNINGS GUIDANCE

New York, NY (February 21, 2007)--JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQGS: JBLU)
today announced revised first quarter and full year 2007 guidance to incorporate
material changes in its projections due to the service disruptions resulting
from the February 14, 2007 New York metropolitan area ice storm and related
recovery period.

For the first quarter of 2007, JetBlue now expects to report an operating margin
between negative four and negative two percent based on an assumed aircraft fuel
cost per gallon of $1.89, net of hedges. The Company's pre-tax margin is
expected to be between negative ten and negative eight percent for the first
quarter 2007.

JetBlue estimates it will report a full year 2007 operating margin between eight
and ten percent based on an assumed aircraft fuel cost per gallon on $1.94, net
of hedges. The Company's pre-tax margin is expected to be between three and five
percent for the full year 2007.

represent our management's beliefs and assumptions concerning future events.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and are
based on information currently available to us. Actual results may differ
materially from those expressed in the forward looking statements due to many

grow; our reliance on high daily aircraft utilization; our dependence on the New
York metropolitan market; our reliance on automated systems and technology; our
being subject to potential unionization; our reliance on a limited number of

but not limited to, the Company's 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake
