(b) On April 8, 2008, Angela Gittens, a director of JetBlue Airways Corporation (the “Company”) since September 2005, notified the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company that, due to new professional obligations, she would be resigning from the Board of Directors immediately following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 15, 2008 (the “Annual Meeting”). 
On April 8, 2008, David Neeleman, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and former Chief Executive Officer and founder of the Company, notified the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee that he would not be standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting in order to enable him to devote his full time and attention to his new, as yet unnamed, Brazilian domestic airline. 
The Company thanks Ms. Gittens and Mr. Neeleman for their exemplary service to the Board and to the Company.
