JetBlue Airways Adjusts Strategy Amid Rising Fuel Costs and Suspends Full-Year Guidance
JetBlue Airways suspended its full-year guidance due to rising fuel costs linked to the Middle East conflict, raising fares, trimming capacity, and adjusting ancillary fees. The company reported a 6.5% year-over-year increase in Q1 RASM and expects 7%–11% growth in Q2 RASM despite a 1.5%–4.5% capacity increase. Fuel costs are expected to remain high, with each $0.10 increase costing the company approximately $85 million annually.
