                        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.
