Current report

As we progressed through the second quarter of 2026, demand remained resilient across our network, even as JetBlue and industry fares moved higher throughout the quarter. Strength was robust throughout the booking curve, including close-in demand.

Current report

•Operating expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.8 billion, a 20.8% increase year-over-year.

Current report

In the second quarter, we continued executing our strategy to build the best East Coast leisure network, and launched seasonal service from Boston to two new destinations, Barcelona and Milan, with Milan marking JetBlue's first-ever service to Italy. Together, these additions expanded our Boston transatlantic reach to nine European destinations.

Current report

In addition, we continued expanding our presence in Fort Lauderdale, where Spirit’s exit represents one of the most significant strategic opportunities JetBlue has seen in many years. Fort Lauderdale continued to benefit from very strong customer demand, and second quarter revenue per ASM ("RASM") increased 11%, while capacity increased nearly 40%.

Current report

In July 2026, we launched additional service from Fort Lauderdale and now operate more than 125 daily departures to more than 55 nonstop destinations, representing our largest schedule from the airport. We also introduced a more structured bank schedule, with two southbound and two northbound banks designed to better connect customers to the Caribbean and Latin America. By December, we expect to surpass 150 daily flights from Fort Lauderdale and operate the largest Mint® schedule from Fort Lauderdale in JetBlue's history.

Current report

In July 2026, we were selected as the successful bidder to acquire certain operating authorizations (slots) previously operated by Spirit Airlines at New York's LaGuardia Airport. If completed, the acquisition would support up to 12 daily roundtrips at LaGuardia. The transaction closing remains subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions.

Current report

Blue Sky implementation advanced in the second quarter of 2026 with the introduction of reciprocal loyalty benefits for eligible Mosaic and MileagePlus members, including priority boarding, preferred and extra legroom seating, and same-day standby options. In July 2026, Paisly began distributing United's car rental products, with hotels and travel insurance expected in the fourth quarter of 2026, further supporting our broader travel platform strategy.

Current report

We continued to see strong engagement across our loyalty offerings, supported in part by the relaunch of our premium co-brand credit card and demand for its BlueHouse TM benefit, which contributed to growth in new card acquisitions and loyalty remuneration during the quarter. In addition, we launched a new Buy Now, Pay Later option through ClarityPay, providing customers with additional payment flexibility.

Current report

We also continued to enhance Mint®, which earned the highest ranking in customer satisfaction in the first/business class segment in North America by J.D. Power for the second consecutive year. During the quarter, we announced new onboard culinary partnerships for Mint® with refreshed menu offerings inspired by New York restaurants expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026.

Current report

To secure our financial future, we remain focused on preserving liquidity, maintaining cost discipline, and proactively managing our balance sheet. In the second quarter, as fuel prices remained elevated and the macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop remained fluid, we focused on the levers within our control, including disciplined capacity, commercial actions, cost initiatives, and fuel burn. JetForward continued to support profitability through cost initiatives, including enhanced digital tools and technology modernization to improve crewmember productivity, improved fuel efficiency through advanced flight planning and routing, real-time data, and predictive analytics, and expanded AI- and data science-enabled capabilities to improve planning, automate decision-making, and better manage disruptions.

Current report

We also completed a $500 million aircraft-backed financing transaction, further strengthening our liquidity position.We continue to take a disciplined and proactive approach to managing the balance sheet, with a focus on maintaining liquidity, supporting JetForward, and optimizing our cost of capital.

Current report

On July 27, 2026, we entered into supplemental support and other agreements with International Aero Engines, LLC ("IAE"), an affiliate of RTX Corporation, Pratt & Whitney Division, related to certain PW1100G and PW1500G engine operational disruptions, technical issues occurring through December 31, 2025 and other matters. Under the agreements, we received consideration including credits up to $105 million that may be applied toward future purchases of qualifying goods and services from IAE, IAE International Aero Engines AG and Pratt & Whitney through December 31, 2027, including in exchange for waiving certain claims.

Current report

These credits are accounted for as vendor consideration under ASC 705-20 and will be allocated to qualifying purchases through December 31, 2027 based on our estimated eligible spend for applicable goods and services during that period. Credits associated with operating expenditures will be recognized as reductions of the related operating expenses, while credits associated with capital expenditures will be recognized as reductions of the cost basis of the related assets.

Current report

Sales and marketing increased by$12 million, or 14.9%, in thethree months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher credit card fees as a result of the increase in passenger revenue.

Current report

There were no special items for the three months ended June 30, 2026. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, special items consisted of$24 million ofvoluntary opt-out costs.

Current report

Other operating expenses increased by $45 million, or 13.4%, in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher airport-related and operational support costs, reflecting increased flight activity and contractual rate increases, as well as higher customer experience-related costs. The increase also reflects lower net gains on asset sale transactions, as gains from current year E190 aircraft sales were lower than prior year period gains from sale-leaseback and engine sale transactions.

Current report

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded an income tax benefit of $24 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $20 million for the same period in 2025, with the increase primarily due to an income tax benefit on a higher pre-tax loss partially offset by a valuation allowance for the current period.

Current report

Aircraft fuel increased by $469 million, or 46.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The average fuel price increased by 46.2% to $3.63 per gallon, while fuel consumption was relatively consistent with the prior-year period.

Current report

Other operating expenses increased by $78 million, or 11.7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher costs associated with operational disruption events, higher airport-related and operational support costs reflecting contractual rate increases, and higher customer experience-related costs. The increase also reflects lower net gains on asset sale transactions, as gains from current year E190 aircraft sales were lower than prior year gains from sale-leaseback and engine sale transactions.

Current report

Interest income decreased by $31 million, or 43.5%, for thesix months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease wasprimarily driven by lower short-term investment balances.

Previous report

As we progressed through the first quarter of 2026, demand trends strengthened across the booking curve, with continued resilience in both close-in and forward bookings, as well as sustained strength in premium travel and improving demand in core.

Previous report

In the first quarter, we continued to make adjustments to our business to build the best East Coast leisure network. We further expanded our presence in Fort Lauderdale with the launch of new year-round nonstop routes to Dallas and Syracuse, announced new service to Cleveland and Orlando beginning later this year, and increased service on existing routes. These actions strengthen our investment in building depth and connectivity in Florida's largest premium market. Capacity in Fort Lauderdale increased 23% year over year in the first quarter. This growth was supported by strong demand and resulted in operating revenue per ASM growth of 5% for the period. As our presence in Fort Lauderdale grows, we are expanding to a four-bank connecting structure, enabling increased connectivity and improved utility for our customers. We continue to view Fort Lauderdale, along with key leisure destinations across the state of Florida, as essential components of our network strategy.

Previous report

In addition to our Fort Lauderdale expansion, we launched new service to Destin-Fort Walton Beach from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Boston Logan International Airport, marking our eleventh destination in Florida.

In the second quarter of 2026, we expect to introduce reciprocal loyalty benefits across Mosaic and MileagePlus tiers, including priority boarding, preferred and extra legroom seating, and same-day standby and flight changes. We also expect to begin selling United Airlines non-air products through Paisly, starting with car rentals, with plans to expand to hotels, cruises, vacation packages, and travel insurance by the end of 2026

Previous report

We further expanded the TrueBlue® loyalty program with additional utility, including the ability to use points for ancillary purchases and introducing Family Tiles, an industry-first feature that allows parents to earn status more quickly when traveling with children.

Previous report

To secure our financial future, we are focused on preserving liquidity, maintaining cost discipline, and retaining flexibility across our network and fleet amid elevated and volatile fuel prices, which we expect to persist throughout this year, as well as broader macroeconomic uncertainty. We are actively managing key levers within our control: increasing fees and fares to better align with input costs, moderating unproductive capacity, and reducing costs. Our cost actions include reducing controllable spend, slowing hiring in certain workgroups to better align with capacity expectations, revising maintenance visit schedules, and continuing to focus on our fuel efficiency programs. At the same time, we continue to advance our JetForward cost initiatives by implementing new technology and AI to improve planning for our crew and operation, launching a sourcing center of excellence to further optimize contract spend with business partners, and implementing more efficient insourcing and outsourcing opportunities across our business. We remain focused on maintaining a strong liquidity position and proactively managing our balance sheet to navigate near-term volatility while supporting long-term, capital-efficient growth.

Previous report

Other operating expenses increased by $33 million, or 9.9%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher expenses driven by operational disruption events during the quarter, including multiple winter storms and airspace constraints, as well as an increase in tariffs.

In July 2023, Pratt & Whitney, a division of RTX Corporation, announced the requirement, mandated by the FAA, for removal of certain engines for inspection due to a rare condition involving powdered metal used in the production of certain engine parts on the PW1100G and PW1500G engine types. These engines power our Airbus A321neo and Airbus A220 fleets. The powdered metal affects engines manufactured between October 2015 and September 2021. Those engines are now required to be inspected after they have reached a reduced number of cycles dependent on the fleet type. As a result of these required inspections and other engine durability deficiencies, as of March 31, 2026, we had four aircraft grounded due to lack of engine availability. The Company currently expects each removed engine to take approximately 200 days for the PW1500G engines and approximately 300 days for the PW1100G engines to complete a shop visit and return to a serviceable condition.

Previous wording

We use operating cash flows to provide working capital for current and future operations. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $120 million and $114 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in operating cash flows is primarily due to the net change in working capital, particularly higher air traffic liability driven by current quarter sales, partially offset by an increase in operating losses driven by higher fuel costs and higher salaries, wages and benefits and other operating expenses, largely attributable to operational disruption events during the quarter.

Current wording

We use operating cash flows to provide working capital for current and future operations. Cash flows used in operating activities were $35 million and $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in cash flows used in operating activities is primarily due to higher operating losses driven by increased fuel costs, salaries, wages and benefits, and other operating expenses, including costs associated with operational disruption events. These impacts were partially offset by higher revenue, driven by stronger demand and pricing, and favorable changes in working capital, particularly an increase in air traffic liability.

We expect to meet our obligations as they become due through available cash, investment securities, and internally generated funds, supplemented, as necessary, by financing activities which may be available to us. However, we cannot predict what the effect on our business might be from future developments related to the extremely competitive environment in which we operate, or from events beyond our control, such as volatile or increasing fuel prices, economic conditions, the effectiveness and timing of our efforts to increase fees and fares to align with volatile input costs, weather-related disruptions, airport infrastructure challenges, the spread of infectious diseases, the impact of other airline bankruptcies, restructurings or consolidations, U.S. or international military actions, acts of terrorism, or other external geopolitical events and conditions. We believe there is sufficient liquidity available to us to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

We reported a net loss of $247 million, operating loss of $141 million and an operating margin of (5.2)% for the three months ended June 30, 2026. This compares to a net loss of $74 million, an operating income of $6 million and an operating margin of 0.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our loss per share was $0.66 for the second quarter of 2026 compared to a loss per share of $0.21 for the same period in 2025. Net loss increased $173 million year-over-year primarily due to an increase in fuel expense partially offset by higher revenue driven by stronger demand and increased pricing as compared to the same period in 2025.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Passenger revenue is our primary source of revenue, which includes seat revenue and baggage fees, as well as revenue from our ancillary product offerings such as EvenMore®. Passenger revenue increased 9.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This was mainly driven by a 7.0% higher yield and a 3.0% increase in revenue passengers than the prior period.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Other revenue increased $55 million, or 15.6%, primarily due to higher customer spend related to loyalty revenue from the non-transportation elements of the sale of TrueBlue® points. Other revenue also includes revenue from the sale of vacation packages, airport concessions, charters, advertising, and lounge revenue.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

We measure capacity in terms of available seat miles, which represents the number of seats available for passengers multiplied by the number of miles the seats are flown. Yield, or the average amount one passenger pays to fly one mile, is calculated by dividing passenger revenue by revenue passenger miles. We attempt to increase passenger revenue by increasing our yield and also increasing our load factor of flights, when possible. Our objective is to optimize our fare mix to increase our overall revenue per available seat mile while continuing to provide our customers with competitive fares.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Landing fees and other rents increased by $22 million, or 6.6%, for thesix months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to rate increases in certain cities and a decrease in airport rent credits received.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Depreciation and amortization increased by $23 million, or 6.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily driven by the induction of new aircraft and spare engines, partially offset by the retirement of the Embraer E190 fleet as part of the Company's fleet transition plan.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Aircraft rent decreased by $9 million, or 23.4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to fewer leases for Airbus A320 aircraft and Embraer E190 aircraft. As part of the Company's fleet transition plan, Embraer E190 aircraft leases reached their lease expiration and were returned to the lessor. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the number of leased engines.
