Abstract:

This case examines JetBlue's business model and studies the factors behind the airline's initial rapid growth and early success.

It raises the question of whether JetBlue's growth in its early years may be considered unsustainable as argued by some analysts.

It also discusses some of the factors that were responsible for JetBlue's later troubles and the airline's Return to Profitability plan that aimed at helping it streamline its operations.

The case ends with a commentary on the challenges that JetBlue might face in the future.
