Forward-Looking Information
Statements in this Report (or otherwise made by JetBlue or on JetBlue’s
behalf) contain various forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities
Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or the Exchange Act, which represent our management’s beliefs and
assumptions concerning future events. When used in this document and
in documents incorporated herein by reference, the words “expects,”
“plans,” “anticipates,” “indicates,” “believes,” “forecast,” “guidance,”
“outlook,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “targets” and similar expressions
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and are based
on information currently available to us. Actual results may differ materially
from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to many
factors, including, without limitation, our extremely competitive industry;
volatility in financial and credit markets which could affect our ability to
obtain debt and/or lease financing or to raise funds through debt or
equity issuances; volatility in fuel prices, maintenance costs and interest
rates; our ability to implement our growth strategy; our significant fixed
obligations and substantial indebtedness; our ability to attract and retain
qualified personnel and maintain our culture as we grow; our reliance
on high daily aircraft utilization; our dependence on the New York and
Boston metropolitan markets and the effect of increased congestion in
these markets; our reliance on automated systems and technology; our
being subject to potential unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or
increased labor costs; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers; our
presence in some international emerging markets that may experience
political or economic instability or may subject us to legal risk; reputational
and business risk from information security breaches or cyber-attacks;
changes in or additional government regulation; changes in our industry due
to other airlines’ financial condition; acts of war or terrorist attacks; global
economic conditions or an economic downturn leading to a continuing
or accelerated decrease in demand for domestic and business air travel;
the spread of infectious diseases; adverse weather conditions or natural
disasters; and external geopolitical events and conditions. It is routine for
our internal projections and expectations to change as the year or each
quarter in the year progresses, and therefore it should be clearly understood
that the internal projections, beliefs and assumptions upon which we base
our expectations may change prior to the end of each quarter or year.
Given the risks and uncertainties surrounding forward-looking statements,
you should not place undue reliance on these statements. You should
understand that many important factors, in addition to those discussed
or incorporated by reference in this Report, could cause our results to
differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
Potential factors that could affect our results include, in addition to others
not described in this Report, those described in Item 1A of this Report
under “Risks Related to JetBlue” and “Risks Associated with the Airline
Industry.” In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events
discussed in this Report might not occur. Our forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date of this Report. Other than as required by law, we
undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
