JetBlue Posts Q3 Revenue Decline, Still Confident in Recovery

JetBlue Airways has reported its Q3 2025 financial results, revealing revenue of $2.3 billion, which was slightly below analyst estimates and reflected a 1.8 percent decline compared to the same quarter last year.

The airline recorded a net loss of $143 million, or $0.39 per share, a larger loss than the $60 million reported in the same quarter of the previous year.

JetBlue’s operating revenue per available seat mile (RASM) decreased by 2.7 percent, while operating cost per available seat mile (CASM), excluding fuel and special items, rose by 3.7 percent.

Even so, the airline maintained a strong liquidity position with $2.9 billion in cash, excluding $600 million revolving credit facility, as it navigates challenging operating conditions.

CEO Joanna Geraghty stated that the airline is sticking to its JetForward plan, which focuses on reducing costs, increasing revenue, and achieving profitability. The plan has already delivered $180 million in earnings so far this year, and the company expects that number to reach $290 million by year-end.

Currently, JetBlue is expanding in Fort Lauderdale, strengthening its East Coast leisure network, and recently launched Blue Sky loyalty benefits in partnership with United Airlines.
