JetForward's initiatives continue to progress, led by BlueFirst , our new domestic first class product, which is expected to begin sales this fall. As these initiatives mature, JetBlue expects JetForward benefits to continue building beyond 2027, reaching approximately $1.2 billion of annual incremental EBIT in 2028. Based on this planned trajectory, the airline introduced a long-term financial target for 2028 EPS of at least $1.00 per share assuming continued demand strength and an average $3.00 per gallon jet fuel price in 2028. Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results • Recaptured nearly 50% of higher fuel costs during the second quarter, exceeding expectations. • Second quarter 2026 system capacity increased by 3.2% year-over-year, within our revised guidance range of 2.0% to 4.0%. • Operating revenue of $2.7 billion for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 14.5% year-over-year. • Operating revenue per available seat mile ("RASM") increased 10.9% year-over-year, near the better end of our revised guidance range, supported by strong demand across nearly all products and geographies. • Operating expense per available seat mile ("CASM") for the second quarter of 2026 increased 17.0% year-over-year. • Operating expense per available seat mile, excluding fuel, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items ("CASM ex- Fuel") for the second quarter of 2026 increased 2.4% year-over-year, 1.6 points better than the mid-point of revised guidance. • Average fuel price in the second quarter of 2026 of $4.23 per gallon, $1.83 higher year-over-year, or approximately 76%. • Capital expenditures, including predelivery deposits, in the second quarter totaled $234 million.

Notes Our estimated effective tax rate is ~6% for the third quarter and full year 2026, primarily reflecting a non-cash impact from a valuation allowance included in our forecasted annual effective tax rate. Management reviews the estimated amount of earnings before interest and taxes attributable to JetForward initiatives within a given period to evaluate progress against our financial and operational targets. Cumulative incremental EBIT reflects the estimated impact of strategic initiatives on profitability, such as partnerships, fleet optimization, network changes, and cost reduction programs.

It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year progresses, and therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections, beliefs, and assumptions upon which we base our expectations may change prior to the end of each quarter or year. Given the risks and uncertainties surrounding forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on these statements. You should understand that many important factors, in addition to those discussed or incorporated by reference in this Earnings Release, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward- looking statements.

Note A - Non-GAAP Financial Measures We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this Earnings Release. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements, but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide useful supplemental information that enables a meaningful comparison of our results to others in the airline industry and our prior results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. The information below provides an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this Earnings Release and shows a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures used in this Earnings Release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. With respect to JetBlue's CASM Ex-Fuel and Adjusted Operating Margin guidance, JetBlue is not able to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking measures where the quantification of certain excluded items reflected in the measure cannot be calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. In these cases, the reconciling information that is unavailable includes a forward-looking range of financial performance measures beyond our control, such as interest rates and fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors beyond our control. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results. CASM Ex-Fuel is a non-GAAP measure that excludes fuel, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items. Adjusted Operating Margin is a non-GAAP measure that excludes special items. (1) (2) (1) (2) - 9 -
Page 10
Operating expense per available seat mile, excluding fuel, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items ("CASM ex- fuel") CASM is a common metric used in the airline industry. Our CASM for the relevant periods are summarized in the table below. We exclude aircraft fuel, operating expenses related to other non-airline businesses, such as Paisly and JetBlue Technology Ventures (JBV), and special items from total operating expenses to determine Operating Expenses ex-fuel, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, and we exclude the same items from CASM to determine CASM ex-fuel, which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe the impact of these special items distorts our overall trends and that our metrics are more comparable with the presentation of our results excluding such impact. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no special items. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, special items included voluntary opt-out costs. We believe Operating Expenses ex-fuel and CASM ex-fuel are useful for investors because they provide investors the ability to measure our financial performance excluding items that are beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors, as well as items that are not related to the generation of an available seat mile, such as operating expense related to certain non-airline businesses and special items. We believe these non-GAAP measures are more indicative of our ability to manage airline costs and are more comparable to measures reported by other major airlines. The table below provides a reconciliation of our total operating expenses (GAAP measure) to Operating Expenses ex-fuel, and our CASM to CASM ex-fuel for the periods presented.

Operating Expense, Operating Income (Loss), Operating Margin, Pre-tax Loss, Pre-tax Margin, Net Loss and Loss per Share, excluding Special Items and Gain on Investments For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no special items. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, special items included voluntary opt-out costs. Certain gains on our investments, net were also excluded from our June 30, 2026 and 2025 non-GAAP results.
