JetBlue is reportedly in negotiations for a partnership with United Airlines, according to sources. This alliance is expected to enhance customer connectivity and allow frequent-flier mile exchanges, though it will not involve schedule or pricing coordination. While details are still being finalized, JetBlue’s President, Marty St. George, mentioned an expected announcement this quarter. United Airlines declined to comment on speculation. JetBlue has faced challenges returning to profitability post-pandemic, with shares dropping significantly this year. A potential partnership with American Airlines fell through, leading to a lawsuit. Speculation about JetBlue becoming an acquisition target has also surfaced, though United Airlines denied merger discussions.
