JetBlue

JetBlue is a low-cost airline headquartered in the Forest Hills neighborhood of New York City. The company was founded in 1999 by former Southwest employee David Neeleman with a mission to, "give style, service, and choice back to people who fly."

The company's goal is to offer low-cost travel without skimping on the amenities, which include in-flight entertainment, TVs on every seat and satellite radio. Neeleman's stated goal is "to bring humanity back to air travel." JetBlue currently flies to 53 destinations in 6 countries. Its home airport is New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

On April 1, 2010 JetBlue Airways and [[American Airlines] announced a slot swap agreement at Washington National and New York area airports, also a limited interlining deal at JFK and Boston Logan.http://www.topix.com/com/jblu/2010/04/american-jetblue-announce-slot-swap-interline-agreement
