Ground Facilities
Airports
All of our airport facilities are under leases or other occupancy agreements. This space is leased directly or indirectly from the local airport authority on varying terms dependent on prevailing practices at each airport. Our passenger terminal service facilities consisting of ticket counters, gate space, operations support area, and baggage service offices generally have agreement terms ranging from less than one year to five years. They can contain provisions for periodic adjustments of rental rates, landing fees, and other charges applicable under the type of lease. Under some of these agreements, we are responsible for the maintenance, insurance, utilities, and certain other facility-related expenses and services.
A summary of our most significant lease agreements is provided below:
JFK -We have a lease agreement with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (“PANYNJ”) for Terminal 5 until November 2042, but we have the option to terminate the agreement in 2033. In 2012, we amended the lease to extend into the former Terminal 6 property in order to build T5i. In November 2022, we amended the lease to relinquish a portion of the former Terminal 6 property to allow for development of a new Terminal 6 by our development partner, JFK Millennium Partners (“JMP”).
BOS - In May 2005, we entered into a lease with Massachusetts Port Authority (“Massport”) with a five-year term (and 20 automatic one-year renewals), for five gates in Terminal C; which expanded to 11 by November 2008. We have since entered into multiple amendments with Massport to continue to grow our footprint in Terminal C. As of December 31, 2023, we leased 30 gates in Boston. Our lease with Massport is scheduled to expire in April 2030.
We have entered into use arrangements at each of the airports we serve providing for the non-exclusive use of runways, taxiways, and other airport facilities. Landing fees under these agreements are typically based on the number of aircraft landings and the weight of the aircraft.
Other
We lease the following hangars and airport support facilities at our focus cities:
New York -At JFK, we have a ground lease agreement which expires in 2030 for an aircraft maintenance hangar, an adjacent office, and warehouse facility, including a storage facility for aircraft parts. These facilities accommodate our technical support and catering operations. We also lease a building from the PANYNJ which is mainly used for ground equipment maintenance work.
Boston -We have a ground and building lease agreement which expires in 2028 for an aircraft maintenance hangar and associated support space, with an option to extend for five additional years. We also have separate leases for facilities to accommodate our ground support equipment maintenance and catering operations.
Orlando -We have a ground lease agreement for a hangar which expires in 2035. We also occupy a training center, JetBlue University, with a lease agreement expiring in 2035 which we use for training our pilots and inflight crewmembers, as well as support training for our technical operations and airport crewmembers. This facility is equipped with eleven full flight simulators, eleven flight training devices, three cabin trainers, a training pool, classrooms, and support areas.
The Lodge at the Orlando Support Center (“OSC”) is adjacent to JetBlue University and is used for lodging our crewmembers when they attend training.
Our primary corporate office is located in Long Island City, New York with our lease expiring in 2039. We have an additional support center located in Salt Lake City, Utah with our lease expiring in May 2028.
We also maintain other facilities that are necessary to support our operations in the cities we serve.
