Rhea-AI Filing Summary

JetBlue Airways reported second-quarter 2026 operating revenue of $2.697 billion, up 14.5% year-over-year on a 3.2% increase in system capacity and a 10.9% rise in revenue per available seat mile (RASM). Higher fuel prices weighed heavily on results: average fuel cost jumped to $4.23 per gallon, about 76% above a year earlier, driving operating expenses up 20.8% and producing an operating loss of $141 million and a net loss of $247 million, or $(0.66) per diluted share. CASM ex-fuel increased a modest 2.4% year-over-year.

Through June 2026, the JetForward transformation program has delivered $470 million of cumulative incremental EBIT and is targeted to reach $850–$950 million annually by year-end 2027 and about $1.2 billion in 2028. JetBlue introduced a long-term 2028 earnings goal of at least $1.00 EPS, assuming continued demand strength and $3.00 per gallon jet fuel. For third-quarter 2026, guidance calls for ASMs up 3.0–6.0%, RASM up 12.5–16.5%, CASM ex-fuel up 2.5–4.5%, and fuel at $3.49 per gallon. For full-year 2026, JetBlue expects RASM growth of 10.0–12.5%, CASM ex-fuel up 2.0–4.0%, and an adjusted operating margin between (2.0)% and (5.0)%. Cash and cash equivalents were $1.656 billion at June 30, 2026, with total debt of $8.478 billion and stockholders’ equity of $1.587 billion.

Positive

  • Revenue and unit revenue grew strongly, with operating revenue up 14.5% to $2.697 billion and RASM increasing 10.9% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2026.
  • The JetForward program has delivered $470 million cumulative incremental EBIT through June 2026 and targets $850–$950 million annually by 2027 and about $1.2 billion in 2028, supporting a 2028 EPS goal of at least $1.00.

Negative

  • JetBlue reported a $247 million net loss for Q2 2026, with diluted loss per share of $(0.66) and an operating margin of -5.2% despite higher revenue.
  • Full-year 2026 adjusted operating margin is guided to remain negative at (2.0)%–(5.0)%, while stockholders’ equity declined to $1.587 billion at June 30, 2026 versus $2.120 billion at year-end 2025.

Filing Explained

JetBlue disclosed future aircraft deliveries and approximately $850 million of 2026 capital expenditures, but delivery timing and contractual costs remain subject to change.

The July 28, 2026 Form 8-K furnishes quarterly results, investor guidance, and related exhibits under Items 2.02 and 7.01; the filing is a reporting event, not an announcement of a completed transaction. Its structural addition is a disclosed plan for future aircraft deliveries and associated committed spending rather than an already completed fleet change.

As of June 30, 2026, JetBlue reported an operating fleet of 296 aircraft, including four temporarily out of service because of Pratt & Whitney engine groundings. The delivery table lists 12 aircraft for 2026, 7 for 2027, 11 for 2028, 10 for 2029, 3 for 2030, and 42 thereafter.

The company says delivery timing and related committed expenditures are based on contractual schedules adjusted for current expectations, and that actual timing may change because of production, supply-chain, contractual, or regulatory factors. Its full-year 2026 outlook includes approximately $850 million of capital expenditures, excluding one A321neo XLR that it expects to sell after delivery.

The filing separately discloses options to purchase 20 A220-300 aircraft from 2028 through 2030; those options are not included in the scheduled delivery table. The key unresolved item is the timing of the listed deliveries and the amount of their associated contractual spending, which the filing does not quantify.

RASM financial
"Operating revenue per available seat mile (RASM) increased 10.9% year-over-year"
RASM (revenue per available seat mile) measures how much money an airline earns for each seat it can fly one mile, combining ticket sales and other onboard revenue divided by total seat-miles offered. It tells investors how effectively an airline turns its flying capacity into income—similar to checking how much a restaurant makes per available table hour—so rising RASM usually signals better pricing or demand, while falling RASM can warn of weaker revenue performance.
CASM ex-Fuel financial
"Operating expense per available seat mile, excluding fuel, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items (CASM ex-Fuel)"
CASM ex-fuel is a measure airlines use to show the operating cost to fly one seat one mile, with fuel expenses removed. Think of it as the base cost of running the plane — like comparing the price of a car ride without counting gas — which helps investors see underlying efficiency and compare performance across periods or carriers without the swings caused by volatile fuel prices.
Adjusted operating margin financial
"Adjusted operating margin is a non-GAAP measure that excludes special items"
Adjusted operating margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core business activities, after removing unusual or one-time costs and income. It helps investors see the company's true profitability by providing a clearer picture, similar to removing unexpected expenses to understand the regular performance. This metric is useful for comparing companies or tracking performance over time, as it highlights consistent earning power.
Available Seat Miles financial
"Available Seat Miles (ASMs) Year-Over-Year 3.0% - 6.0%"
Available seat miles measure the total capacity of an airline to carry passengers, calculated by multiplying the number of seats available on all flights by the distance those flights cover. It indicates how much space an airline has to generate revenue from passenger travel. For investors, higher available seat miles generally suggest a larger operation and potential for increased earnings.
JetForward other

Guidance

Note A - Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this Earnings Release. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements, but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide useful supplemental information that enables a meaningful comparison of our results to others in the airline industry and our prior results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. The information below provides an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this Earnings Release and shows a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures used in this Earnings Release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

With respect to JetBlue's CASM Ex-Fuel (1) and Adjusted Operating Margin (2) guidance, JetBlue is not able to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking measures where the quantification of certain excluded items reflected in the measure cannot be calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. In these cases, the reconciling information that is unavailable includes a forward-looking range of financial performance measures beyond our control, such as interest rates and fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors beyond our control. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

(1) CASM Ex-Fuel is a non-GAAP measure that excludes fuel, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items.
(2) Adjusted Operating Margin is a non-GAAP measure that excludes special items.

Operating expense per available seat mile, excluding fuel, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items ("CASM ex-fuel")
CASM is a common metric used in the airline industry. Our CASM for the relevant periods are summarized in the table below. We exclude aircraft fuel, operating expenses related to other non-airline businesses, such as Paisly and JetBlue Technology Ventures (JBV), and special items from total operating expenses to determine Operating Expenses ex-fuel, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, and we exclude the same items from CASM to determine CASM ex-fuel, which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe the impact of these special items distorts our overall trends and that our metrics are more comparable with the presentation of our results excluding such impact.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no special items.
For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, special items included voluntary opt-out costs.
We believe Operating Expenses ex-fuel and CASM ex-fuel are useful for investors because they provide investors the ability to measure our financial performance excluding items that are beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors, as well as items that are not related to the generation of an available seat mile, such as operating expense related to certain non-airline businesses and special items. We believe these non-GAAP measures are more indicative of our ability to manage airline costs and are more comparable to measures reported by other major airlines.
The table below provides a reconciliation of our total operating expenses (GAAP measure) to Operating Expenses ex-fuel, and our CASM to CASM ex-fuel for the periods presented.

Long-term target: the Company introduced a long-term financial target for 2028 EPS of at least $1.00 per share, supported by JetForward's expected growth to approximately $1.2 billion of annual incremental EBIT by year-end 2028. The target assumes continued demand strength and an average $3.00 per gallon jet fuel price in 2028.
Our estimated effective tax rate is ~6% for the third quarter and full year 2026, primarily reflecting a non-cash impact from a valuation allowance included in our forecasted annual effective tax rate.

In addition, refer to Note A for further details on non-GAAP forward-looking information.

We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Investor Update are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "expects," "plans," "intends," "anticipates," "indicates," "remains," "believes," "estimates," "forecast," "guidance," "outlook," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "goals," "targets" or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Additionally, forward-looking statements include statements that do not relate solely to historical facts, such as statements which identify uncertainties or trends, discuss the possible future effects of current known trends or uncertainties, or which indicate that the future effects of known trends or uncertainties cannot be predicted, guaranteed, or assured. Forward-looking statements contained in this Investor Update include, without limitation, statements regarding our outlook, goals, and future results of operations and financial position, including our intended path to profitability, positive free cash flow, earnings targets and related assumptions, any expected headwinds or tailwinds, fuel prices and volatility, demand, our use of artificial intelligence, our aircraft fleet, our product offerings and loyalty initiatives, and our business strategy and plans and objectives for future operations, such as our JetForward initiatives, our Blue Sky collaboration, BlueFirstTM product launch, expected growth opportunities at select airports, our financing arrangements and potential implications thereof on our business, our sustainability initiatives, the impact of industry conditions, our ability to adjust pricing in response to changes in fuel costs or demand, and the related impacts on our business. 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 important factors, including, without limitation, our extremely competitive industry; the risk associated with the execution of our strategic operating plans in the near-term and long-term; risks related to the long-term nature of our fleet order book; volatility in fuel prices and availability of fuel; increased maintenance costs associated with fleet age; costs associated with salaries, wages and benefits; risks associated with a potential material reduction in the rate of interchange reimbursement fees; risks associated with doing business internationally; our reliance on high daily aircraft utilization; our dependence on the New York metropolitan market; risks associated with extended interruptions or disruptions in service at our focus cities; risks associated with airport expenses; risks associated with seasonality and weather; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers for our aircraft, engines, and our Fly-Fi® product; risks related to new or increased tariffs, including those that impact commercial aircraft and related parts imported from outside the United States; the outcome of current or future legal proceedings or regulatory actions; risks associated with stockholder activism; risks associated with cybersecurity and privacy, including potential disruptions to our information technology systems or information security breaches; heightened regulatory requirements concerning data security compliance; risks associated with reliance on, and potential failure of, automated systems to operate our business; our inability to attract and retain qualified crewmembers; our being subject to potential unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or increased labor costs; reputational and business risk from an accident or incident involving our aircraft; risks associated with damage to our reputation and the JetBlue brand name; our significant amount of fixed obligations and the ability to service such obligations; possible failure to comply with financial and other debt covenants included in the agreements governing our debt; financial risks associated with credit card processors; risks associated with seeking short-term additional financing liquidity; failure to realize the full value of intangible or long-lived assets, causing us to record impairments; limits on our ability to use certain tax attributes; risks associated with our development and use of AI-powered solutions; risks associated with disease outbreaks or environmental disasters affecting travel behavior; compliance with environmental laws and regulations, which may cause us to incur substantial costs; the impacts of federal government shutdowns, federal budget constraints or federally imposed furloughs; increasing scrutiny of, and evolving expectations regarding, environmental matters; changes in government regulations in our industry; acts of war or terrorism; and changes in global economic conditions or an economic downturn leading to a continuing or accelerated decrease in demand for air travel. 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 Investor Update, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Further information concerning these and other factors is contained in JetBlue's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including but not limited to in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as may be updated by our other SEC filings. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events discussed in this Investor Update might not occur. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Investor Update. 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this Presentation. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements, but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide useful supplemental information that enables a meaningful comparison of our results to others in the airline industry and our prior year results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. This Presentation includes an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure presented in this Presentation and a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures used in this Presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. With respect to JetBlue's CASM Ex-Fuel (1) and Adjusted Operating Margin (2) guidance, JetBlue is not able to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking measures where the quantification of certain excluded items reflected in the measures cannot be calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. In these cases, the reconciling information that is unavailable includes a forward-looking range of financial performance measures beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors beyond our control. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results. (1) CASM Ex-Fuel is a non-GAAP measure that excludes fuel, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items. (2) Adjusted Operating Margin is a non-GAAP measure that excludes special items. Appendix A 18


 

Operating Expenses, excluding Fuel, Other Non-Airline Operating Expenses, and Special Items ("Operating Expenses ex-fuel") and Operating Expense ex-fuel per Available Seat Mile ("CASM ex-fuel") Operating Expense per Available Seat Mile ("CASM") is a common metric used in the airline industry. Our CASM for the relevant periods are summarized in the table below. We exclude aircraft fuel, operating expenses related to other non-airline businesses, such as Paisly and JetBlue Technology Ventures (JBV), and special items from total operating expenses to determine Operating Expenses ex-fuel, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, and we exclude the same items from CASM to determine CASM ex- fuel, which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe the impact of these special items distorts our overall trends and that our metrics are more comparable with the presentation of our results excluding such impact. We believe Operating Expenses ex-fuel and CASM ex-fuel are useful for investors because they provide investors the ability to measure our financial performance excluding items that are beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors, as well as items that are not related to the generation of an available seat mile, such as operating expense related to certain non-airline businesses and special items. We believe these non-GAAP measures are more indicative of our ability to manage airline costs and are more comparable to measures reported by other major airlines. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no special items. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, special items included voluntary opt-out costs. The table below provides a reconciliation of our total operating expenses (GAAP measure) to Operating Expenses ex-fuel, and our CASM to CASM ex-fuel for the periods presented.
