New York, NY (April 24, 2003) – JetBlue Airways Corporation (Nasdaq: JBLU) announced today that it has placed an order with Airbus for the purchase of 65 new A320 aircraft, with options for a further 50 new aircraft.
The newly ordered aircraft will be delivered starting in 2004 and running through 2011. In addition to the 41 aircraft already in service, JetBlue already had 46 A320s on firm order. With today’s order for up to 115 additional aircraft, JetBlue’s fleet could grow to as many as 202 A320 jetliners by 2012.

I hope Jetblue doesn’t expand too quickly. Perhaps they’ll open up another hub to augment their JFK and LGB hubs, like ONT for instance!
