3Strategy
- Our goal is to establish jetBlue as a leading
low-fare, low-cost passenger airline by offering
customers high-quality customer service and a
differentiated product. We strive to offer low
fares that stimulate market demand while
maintaining a continuous focus on
cost-containment and operating efficiencies. We
intend to follow a controlled growth plan
designed to take advantage of our competitive
strengths. Our growth has occurred, and we
believe it will continue to occur, by adding
additional frequencies on existing routes,
connecting new city pairs among the destinations
we already serve and entering new markets often
served by higher-cost, higher-fare airlines.

- Amy Curtis-McIntyre, VP of Marketing
- Advertising is the last thing you bring to the
mix. You start by getting the product right,
getting your attitude right, getting everyone
internally understanding the mission. Then you
move to telling the story through PR. You build
the advertising last, and that way you can live
on realistic budgets - Commercials
