During an investor presentation that was broadcast on the Internet Tuesday, CEO David Neeleman said the new 100-seat Embraer 190 airplanes on order will prompt the expansion. The 190s will "allow us to go in to cities like Chicago or Columbus or Indianapolis," Neeleman said. Currently, JetBlue flies larger Airbus 320 planes to 18 cities, including Tampa and Orlando, Fla., Buffalo, N.Y., New Orleans, Denver, and Salt Lake City. JetBlue is based at New York's JFK International Airport. =20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2003 AP
