JetBlue Airways History

JetBlue Introduces Passenger Bill Of Rights
The Valentines day snowstorm that delayed flights and had some Jet Blue passengers sitting on planes for up to 11 hours not only embarrassed Jet Blue but has moved them to create a Passengers Bill Of Rights.
Passenger Bill of Rights across the airline Industry have been talked about for years and with delays ever increasing it appeared that Congress was also moving in that direction.
JetBlue quickly seen the writing on the wall and realized that for them to have control over any Passenger Bill of Rights meant that the Bill of Rights would need to come from within the Airline and not in a legislated format.
