On September 10, 2026, Reuters reported that JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU) raised its third-quarter revenue per available seat mile forecast to 17% to 20% year-over-year growth, up from a prior range of 12.5% to 16.5%. It noted strong travel demand and healthy booking trends continuing into September. The airline simultaneously raised its cost forecasts, with fuel now expected to cost $3.96 per gallon, up from $3.49. Non-fuel unit costs projected to rise 6% to 8% instead of 2.5% to 4.5%, after weather and air traffic control disruptions, particularly in the Northeast, drove cancellations and higher operating costs during July and August.
