NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - December 10, 2015) - JetBlue Airways Corporation (
Load factor for November 2015 was 83.9 percent, an increase of 2.5 points from November 2014. JetBlue's preliminary completion factor was 99.5 percent and its on-time (1) performance was 83.0 percent. JetBlue's preliminary passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) for the month of November increased approximately two percent year over year. For the fourth quarter of 2015, PRASM is expected to decrease between two and three percent year over year. PRASM is negatively impacted in the quarter by the timing of year-end Holidays and a higher completion factor than expected, due to better operational performance and more favorable winter weather than anticipated.
