JetBlue Airways Corporation ("JetBlue" or the "Company") announced today an operational and financial update of its expected first quarter 2026 results.
 

Demand for travel in the first quarter strengthened versus prior expectations, helping to partially offset additional expenses realized from operational disruptions and rising fuel costs. JetBlue is seeing demand strength for travel across both peak and non-peak periods broadly across the Company's network. Incrementally, both premium and core cabin segments exhibited improvement within the quarter.
 

JetBlue experienced two major winter weather events in January and February, which reduced year-over-year capacity in the first quarter by approximately 3.5pts versus initial expectations and increased year-over-year CASM ex-fuel (1) by a similar amount. These events resulted in an approximately two point benefit to first quarter unit revenue. Without the impact of these events, the midpoint of first quarter unit revenue guidance would have improved by two points and the midpoint of first quarter CASM ex-fuel guidance would have improved by one point versus previous guidance.
