Spirit and Frontier’s survival may very well depend on another merger attempt, says longtime airline founder David Neeleman.

The airline’s president, Marty St. George, detailed initial plans for the product in a Wednesday internal memo viewed by AirlineGeeks.

After axing service between New York-JFK and London Gatwick last week, JetBlue is planning two new European routes in 2025.

In an internal memo sent to employees on Wednesday, the carrier said it is “focused on building the best East Coast leisure network.”

These moves come as the New York-based airline continues to moderate capacity after posting a loss of $60 million in the third quarter.

The first such aircraft to sport the updated look, named “Taming Of The Blue,” is expected to enter service later this month.

A JetBlue Airbus A320 aircraft was damaged after reportedly being struck by gunfire in Haiti on Monday, the carrier siad.

An appeals court upheld on Friday that the lower court correctly ruled in an antitrust verdict against a partnership between American and JetBlue.

Frontier, Spirit, and JetBlue each submitted objections to the Department of Transportation this week after being denied slots at Reagan National Airport.

Amid ongoing issues with Pratt & Whitney’s GTF engines, JetBlue expects to ground more Airbus A220 and A321neo aircraft next year.
