JetBlue is actively engaging in discussions with several airlines in the United States to explore potential partnerships following the termination of its Northeast Alliance (NEA) with American Airlines. This alliance, a codeshare agreement, primarily concentrated on flights within Boston and New York.

During JetBlue's Q4 2024 earnings call on January 28, CEO Joanna Geraghty stated that the airline is currently in talks "with a number of carriers right now." Although no formal announcements have been made regarding these discussions, Geraghty mentioned that Leo Sorokin, District Judge of the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts, provided an acceptable framework "under at least the prior administration" when ruling against the NEA in May 2023.

Geraghty highlighted opportunities to improve the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and address air traffic control issues under the new administration in Washington, DC. "We look forward to partnering with the new leaders at the DOT and FAA to make this happen," she said.

While not explicitly discussing a potentially more relaxed regulatory environment under the incoming administration, peers like United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby expressed optimism about policies that might stimulate innovation and entrepreneurialism. Similarly, American Airlines CEO Robert Isom emphasized awareness of regulatory issues beneficial to both airlines and customers.

JetBlue President Marty St. George noted that while focusing on domestic partnerships, international collaborations remain crucial for JetBlue's strategy. He mentioned ongoing efforts to restore peak capacity at Boston Logan International Airport after scaling back due to previous shifts toward business traffic at New York LaGuardia Airport.

The airline's network optimization efforts are part of its JetForward plan introduced in July 2024. Ursula Hurley, CFO of JetBlue, pointed out significant changes made to their Northeast network towards late 2024 as part of these initiatives.
