Regulatory facts
1 Conditional upon negotiated merger with Spirit.
The JetBlue Effect is established and flourishes today
Fundamentally, the JetBlue-Spirit transaction is about
creating the best positioned national challenger to the
dominant "Big Four" carriers
JetBlue has made a commitment to divest Spirit's
assets at Northeast Alliance airports
Northeast Alliance litigation (regardless of outcome) is
irrelevant to closing of JetBlue-Spirit
Frontier transaction has far more route overlap than
JetBlue and combination would have very similar market
share to JetBlue + Spirit
JetBlue has strong conviction in its ability to close, and supports it with a significant divestiture commitment¹ and a substantial reverse break-up
fee¹. JetBlue will weigh incremental regulatory concessions against the payment of a reverse break-up fee
Spirit and Frontier have received in-depth DOJ
