JetBlue Joins Industry Trend

Coming off his first two quarterly loses, JetBlue CEO David Neeleman plans cutting capacity on some routes in a move to increase the average fare. This has been happening throughout the industry in the United States.

Until now, Jetblue has been packing them in with many flights more than 90% full. During the first three months of 2006, the average one-way fare was just $105.

JetBlue will remain a budget airline, but it becomes more important to book early, if you expect the lowest fares.
