Ten years ago this week, JetBlue Airways (JBLU) staged a festive initial public offering at the Nasdaq marketplace in New York’s Times Square. Although September 11 had plunged the airline industry into record losses, the then-two-year-old carrier was the envy of its peers. Out of the gate, it was funded by venture backers and strategically hubbed at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. It boasted brand-new, leather-seat-equipped Airbus A320s and fanatically loyal customers drawn to its free in-flight TV and help-yourself snacks.
Did it really have to bring up the JFK tarmac delay debacle? That was five years ago!
Whatever the writer thinks, B6 is still my favorite US carrier!
