JetBlue this week debuted an Airbus A320 aircraft painted green and white in honor of the New York Jets.
Nicknamed “J! E! T! B! L! U! E!,” the airplane was the centerpiece of an event at New York-JFK on Tuesday celebrating the airline’s longstanding relationship with the Jets. Tight end Jeremy Ruckert, linebacker Quincy Williams, and Jets veterans Marty Lyons and Erik Coleman made appearances and signed autographs for customers on the inaugural flight out of JFK.
Passengers were also given Jets gift bags with team-branded shirts and hats.
“JetBlue has always been proud to call New York home, and no team embodies the passion and spirit of this city quite like the New York Jets,” said Stephanie Evans Greene, senior vice president of marketing and brand at JetBlue. “This refreshed livery is more than a new design; it’s a symbol of hometown pride.”
“J! E! T! B! L! U! E!” is painted green with white stripes inspired by the team’s jerseys. Jets logos and branding were placed on the airplane’s belly, engines, tail, and doors.
JetBlue has been the Jets’ official airline since 2009. Its first Jets-inspired livery, which debuted in 2010, was known as “JetGreen.”
