JetBlue Filing To U.S. Departments Of State, Transportation, and Commerce

Robert C. Land – June 2, 2015

On behalf of the nearly 17,000 crewmembers of JetBlue Airways, New York’s Hometown Airline™, JetBlue appreciates the opportunity to provide its perspective on the allegations submitted by Delta, United and American in this matter. While JetBlue will leave a direct rebuttal to the allegations submitted by Delta, United and American to the airlines and governments the allegations have been levied against, this submittal is to support the Open Skies policies of the United States government.

What Are Open Skies Treaties?

They are agreements between the United States and other countries that create open, competitive markets for international air travel. They enable airlines, not governments, to make decisions about routes, capacity, frequency, and pricing of their services, based on market demand.
