market flights operated by other alliance airlines as its own. The benefits of broad networks offered to
customers could attract more customers to these networks. We do not currently participate in any
marketing alliances, interline or offer joint fares with other airlines, nor do we have any commuter
feeder relationships, other than our recent announcement to partner with Cape Air, an airline that
serves destinations out of Boston and San Juan, Puerto Rico. We plan to pursue other alliances with
international airlines to leverage our presence at JFK.
