Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 17, 2011, JetBlue Airways Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a memorandum of
understanding with Airbus S.A.S. (the “MOU”), regarding a network-driven revision and extension of
its A320 delivery schedule, including:
| • | Placement of a new order for 40 A320neo aircraft, with delivery anticipated to commence in 2017, offering up to 15% in fuel savings and increased range. | ||
| • | Deferral of eight A320 aircraft from 2014-2015 to 2017 to smooth out aircraft deliveries, reducing capital commitment over the near term. | ||
| • | Conversion of 30 of the 52 A320 remaining positions to A321s, powered by IAE engines, allowing greater network flexibility. | ||
| • | Addition of winglets to A320 family deliveries starting in 2013, and JetBlue will be a launch customer of retrofit winglets on the existing A320 fleet, in partnership with Airbus. |
