RESERVE OPTION A320 FAMILY AIRCRAFT
Under the terms of its purchase agreement with Airbus for the Aircraft, JetBlue
has the right to receive delivery positions for Reserve Option A320 Family
Aircraft equal to the number of Option A320 Family Aircraft as to which JetBlue
has exercised its purchase rights. Because JetBlue has options with Airbus for
twenty-five (25) Option A320 Family Aircraft, it correspondingly has rights with
Airbus to receive delivery positions for up to seventeen (17) Reserve Option
A320 Family Aircraft. No dates are specified for delivery of these Reserve
Option A320 Family Aircraft. Such delivery dates will be determined at the time
options are exercised by JetBlue. The agreement between JetBlue and Airbus
anticipates that all Reserve Option A320 Family Aircraft will be delivered prior
to the end of 2007. Airbus has also granted JetBlue conversion rights for each
of the twenty-five (25) A320 Family Aircraft and the seventeen (17) Reserve
Option A320 Family Aircraft to the A321-200 or A319 aircraft type on twenty-one
months notice to Airbus.
