MAYOR VILLARAIGOSA TO ANNOUNCE NEW, INCREASED AIR SERVICE BY MAJOR NATIONAL LOW-COST AIRLINE AT NUMBER OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AIRPORTS

            (Los Angeles, California -- February 12, 2008)  JetBlue Airways today announced a major expansion of service in the western United States, with new premium low-fare service at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) plus new intrawest routes from other Southern California regional airports to Austin, Las Vegas, San Diego, San Jose and Seattle -- all beginning this May.

            According to JetBlue officials, the airline already offers more nonstop flights between the East and WestCoasts than any low-fare low-cost airline, and will add more transcontinental routes with the addition of new nonstop service from LAX to New York and Boston, plus the only nonstop service from Burbank to Washington, D.C. JetBlue will complement its schedule of coast-to-coast flying with five new western routes linking Burbank to Las Vegas; Long Beach to Austin, San Jose, and Seattle; and San Diego to Seattle.

            JetBlue’s expansion in California also marks the West Coast debut of the airline’s brand-new EMBRAER 190 aircraft.  The full-size E190, a quiet 100-seat jet, will fly select new routes from its focus city at Long Beach Airport and offer travelers all the amenities expected on JetBlue:  36 channels of free live DIRECTV® programming, more than 100 channels of XM Satellite Radio, plus comfortable leather seats (either an aisle or window – no middle seat), the most legroom in coach (a), and JetBlue’s award-winning inflight experience.

            "JetBlue has operated successfully in a very challenging aviation marketplace in recent years by attracting business and leisure travelers with premium service at low prices," said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.  "The expansion of service in Long Beach and introduction of new routes at LAX and Burbank will, I believe, show that regionalizing air service in the L.A. Basin -- a high priority of my Administration -- is the flight path to future success.  Moreover, because of JetBlue's new focus on global partnerships, the new LAX service will help strengthen the LAX international gateway as a key driver of Southern California's economy."

            “JetBlue continues to set the industry standard for customer service and low fares,” said Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster.  “By serving new, sought-after destinations with smaller and quieter aircraft, JetBlue is providing more options for consumers and decreasing the airport’s impact on neighborhoods.”

            "We eagerly await the start of JetBlue's new cross-country service, sure to be welcomed by air travelers looking for more service options and great value," said Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports, owner and operator of LAX, LA/Ontario International Airport, LA/Palmdale Regional Airport and Van Nuys Airport.  "The addition of JetBlue is a reflection of the progress made in our work to revitalize LAX.  At the same time, the carrier's expansion in the region is a vivid reminder that we must continue our efforts to increase service at our airports in Ontario and Palmdale, both of which are primed for growth.  We look forward to working with JetBlue's route planners to make the case for new and increased service at these important regional airports."
