    JetBlue Airways airline was established by David Neeleman as a low-fare airline with high-quality customer service. His goal was to create an airline that was innovative for the current market. Their main focus was to provide service to areas that were underserved as well as to large cities with overpriced fares. He aimed to establish a strong brand that differentiated itself from its competitors by being a safe, reliable and low cost-airline. Neeleman managed to achieve this partially by hiring friendly, helpful, team-oriented, and customer-focused people. JetBlue is capable of offering low-cost flights due to their low operating costs. In order to achieve the cost advantage, they initially operated a single-type aircraft, the Airbus A320, as opposed to the more popular but costly Boeing 737. Not only was the airbus cheaper to maintain, but it was also more fuel-efficient. Additionally, they decided not to serve any meals on their planes as well as their pilots had to always be available, if needed, to help do the cleanup of the aircraft in order to minimize the time the aircraft was on the ground. They also pioneered the low-cost airline industry by displaying the lowest incidence of delayed, mishandled, or lost bags, and the third-lowest number of customer complaints. Since JetBlue is a customer-oriented company, its objective is to make the customer’s experience extraordinary by providing electronic ticketing and improved in-flight entertainment so that it can rapidly grow as an affordable airline.…

    JetBlue is one of the leading organizations in the airline industry. The organization keeps the costs low which has a direct impact on the other organizations. To ensure the demand stays high the need to keep the prices low is important. If only JetBlue kept its prices low then the organization would not be able to handle the supply side.

    JetBlue began operations in 2000 as a well-funded start-up, which afforded us the ability to make significant investments in our product offerings, including all new aircraft equipped with leather seats and Live TV. This product investment combined with superior customer service at low fares led to widespread brand recognition and early success, predominantly with leisure travelers in New York. By the end of 2006, JetBlue employed over 10,000 employees (to whom we refer as Crewmembers), operated500 daily flights with a fleet of 119 aircraft and generated annual revenues exceeding $2 billion. A heavy debt load taken on to finance this rapid early growth, a wide-spread economic recession and record high energy prices led to annual losses in 2005 and 2006. It became clear to us this rate of growth, as then reflected in our aircraft order book, if not moderated, was unsustainable. Over time, we modified our growth rate through the sale and deferral of aircraft. Additionally, we began to structure our network and invest in offerings targeted to attract a higher mix of business travelers, particularly in Boston. At the same time, we allocated growth to Caribbean routes which typically mature to profitability faster than domestic routes.…
