NEW YORK, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU) today announces the promotion of Martin St. George from Vice President, Network Planning to Senior Vice President, Marketing and Commercial Strategy, effective immediately. In addition, JetBlue announces the promotion of Scott Laurence from Director, Network Planning to Vice President, Network Planning. Both will report to Robin Hayes, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer.

“Thanks to the strength of JetBlue’s brand, we are now positioned to earn even more than our share of the marketplace. 2009 will be a challenging year, but we have a great brand and these leadership appointments will allow us to continue to develop our products and services,” said Mr. Hayes. “Marty brings experience and expertise in executing broad programs in support of our commercial strategies, both serving our customers well and generating improved results for the company.”

Mr. St. George joined JetBlue in July 2006 as Vice President, Network Planning. Prior to joining JetBlue, Mr. St. George was Managing Director of Marketing Planning for United Airlines. Mr. St. George held a number of positions of increasing responsibility for both United and US Airways in both the marketing and the network planning divisions. He graduated with a degree in civil engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1986.

“I’m honored to take on this responsibility, and I look forward to serving JetBlue’s crewmembers, customers and shareholders,” Mr. St. George said. “Through the hard work of our 11,500 crewmembers, JetBlue has become the strongest brand in the airline industry, and we are committed to maintaining our leadership position.”

“I’m pleased to name Scott Laurence to the position of Vice President, Network Planning,” Mr. Hayes said. “This move demonstrates JetBlue’s commitment to build bench strength from within.”

Mr. Laurence joined JetBlue in 2008 as Director, Network Planning, after nine years at United Airlines in roles of increasing responsibility in the network planning and revenue management departments. He also held positions at US Airways in areas of similar focus.

“I look forward to leading the Network Planning group as JetBlue focuses on the business travel markets in 2009 and beyond,” Mr. Laurence said. “We will continue developing our route network as a vital resource for JetBlue’s success.”
