JetBlue to Add Three New Destinations From LA/Long Beach This Fall
New service to Oakland, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City Complements the
Low-Fare Carrier's Existing Service to New York and Washington, DC
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2002-- JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU -
News) will add service to Oakland, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City this fall
from its west coast base at Long Beach, CA.

With this new service and the low-fare carrier's existing service to New
York City and Washington, DC, JetBlue will now serve the three most popular
routes from Southern California: the San Francisco Bay area, New York City
and Las Vegas.(1)

>From Long Beach, starting September 6, JetBlue plans to serve Oakland, in
the San Francisco Bay area, with nine flights a day. Beginning October 10,
the airline plans to add six flights a day to Las Vegas, a daily flight to
Salt Lake City and a fifth daily flight to JFK.

The new service will bring JetBlue's operations at Long Beach to 23 daily
departures by October. Last year, the airline committed to operate 27
departures by May 2003 but recently announced that it expected to introduce
all flights by October 2002. At the request of the City of Long Beach, the
remaining four daily flights are now scheduled to be added in January 2003.

"Last year, we made a commitment to serve the people of Long Beach, Los
Angeles and Southern California, and the area residents have warmly welcomed
us," said David Neeleman, JetBlue's CEO. "We're thrilled with the success
we've seen at Long Beach to date and are excited to offer our trademark
customer service on the three most popular routes from Southern California,
as well as Washington, DC and Salt Lake City."

Fares between Long Beach and Oakland will range from $54(a) to $95(a) each
way; between Long Beach and Las Vegas from $44(a) to $89(a) each way; and
between Long Beach and Salt Lake City from $74(a) to $125(a) each way. All
the lowest fares on these new routes will require a 14-day advance purchase.
All fares are discounted a further $5 each way if booked via JetBlue's web
site, www.jetblue.com, by June 30. The new flights will go on sale at 9:00am
(EDT) on Wednesday, May 29.
