...JetBlue Airways: Growing Pains A case report prepared for MG 495 Business Policy Spring II 2014 Paige Pence Jamie Neidholdt Tyler Slayton Ja-ir Gooden Jacob Miller May 4, 2014 JETBLUE AIRWAYS: GROWING PAINS I. Introduction A. Executive Summary 1. Summary statement of the problem: JetBlue Airways was a fairly new airline that was going up against such airlines like Southwest, AirTran, and Delta. Started in 1999, JetBlue Airway was able to turn profits fairly quickly; in 2001 the company had profits of $38.5 million (George & Regani, 2008, 20-4). From there on it seemed that the company would continue to be profitable especially with expansions in the works; moving into areas that competitors ignored, ordering more planes, expanding to the west coast, and building a new terminal at JFK. However, due to various external and internal factors the company once again posted losses in 2005 and 2006. 2. Summary statement of the recommended solution: The problem is that JetBlue is expanding too fast and too soon to keep up. The company needs to slow their growth so that the company can keep up with the pace. Furthermore, the company needs to continue to do what the company does best; superior customer service, low fares, short-to-medium routes instead of offering what the competitors are doing. This is lessening JetBlue’s differentiation from other companies creating just another option for customers. Finally, JetBlue needs to continue to make cuts...

...JetBlue Airways Air travel is a large and expanding industry. It facilitates economic growth, world trade, international investment, tourism, and is critical to globalization. Over the past ten years, air travel has grown by approximately seven percent per year. However, the airline industry suffered its largest downturn between 2008 and 2009, due to the economic downturn. Airlines carried 767,627,651 passengers in 2009, down from 809,447,811 passengers in 2008. Airlines have been forced to accommodate the economic recession by cutting flights, rescheduling existing routes, and looking for new revenue streams. As the economic recession revives itself, the demand for flights has begun to increase with 787,182,312 passengers flying in 2010; a significant upturn from the previous couple of years. Business travel has grown as companies increase their international presence in terms of their investments, supply and production chains and their customers. The rapid growth of global trade markets in goods and services and international investment have all contributed to growth in business travel. The domestic travel industry in the United States is typically a low cost, low fare environment. Most of the major airlines have undergone cost restructuring. Some airlines have sought the protection of Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure and reduce costs and then emerged as strong low-cost competitors. The majority have entered into cross-border alliances to improve profitability...

...#3 Jet Blue Airways A Cadre of New Managers Takes Control Strategic Management BUS 599 051*VA016*1122*001 Dr. Russell Handlon January 15, 2012 Case 3: Jet Blue Airways Question 1 Discuss the trends in the U.S. airline industry and how these trends might impact a company’s strategy. The trends in the United States airline industry is high prices on gas, oil, maintenance, risks of terrorism, and less travelers flying rather its for personal or business. When these things happen it costs the airlines to make some changing by charging customers for checking their luggage, food, pillows, blankets, and leisure entertainment in order to meet the high spending cost of the airline business. Some airlines had to change their flight schedule to meet the needs of the customers during high peak time in popular vacation spots or other locations customers like to fly too by charges them lower fares. Some airlines have is shortage of pilots because the school of flying does not have enough instructors to train new pilots (Thompson, Strickland, & Gamble, 2010).

The founder of JetBlue Airway is David Neeleman, he wants to “bring humanity back to air travel.” Mr. Neeleman announced JetBlue’s “Passenger Bill of Right” is a policy for United States airline companies regarding vouchers, refunds in case of delays, cancellations, and other inconveniences (Thompson, Strickland, & Gamble, 2010).

Podría demostrar ser una operación exitosa.3 - Herb Seller, Co-founder, CEO, Southwest Airlines Ann Rhoades levantó su mirada de la pila de papeles que tenía frente a ella y miró detenidamente por la ventana. Contempló con orgullo cómo un avión de JetBlue despegaba del aeropuerto Kennedy. Por la hora de salida, sabía que éste iba a Buffalo. Hizo una pausa para reflexionar lo que sin duda había sido un año excitante para la empresa de nueva creación. El servicio de JetBlue había crecido de 9 salidas diarias, al lanzamiento en febrero de 2000 a más de 50 por día en los últimos 11 meses. La flota había crecido de 2 aviones a 10 con la llegada de un nuevo Airbus A320 cada cinco semanas (ver Anexo 1 para el crecimiento durante el primer año). El plan comercial requirió agregar 10 aviones nuevos cada año hasta finales de 2003, llevando la flota a 40. Rhoades, vicepresidente ejecutiva de RRHH, había estado extremadamente ocupada – haciendo crecer el equipo de JetBlue de 10 personas iniciales a casi 1000. Ella sabía que continuaría...

...To get a proper range for JetBlue‟s offering price we will look at market multiples for the Low-Cost Airline Industry and come up with a number that makes sense, once we compare those other financials to JetBlue‟s. Below is a chart describing some of JetBlue‟s competitors and the multiples that they carried at the end of 2001. We’ve calculated what their price should be based upon these multiples and can now apply the same technique for JetBlue. Based upon the information above we can figure out what the average PE Multiple is for the five companies similar to JetBlue, which comes out to be 24.53. According to Exhibit 3 in the case write-up, JetBlue has a Diluted EPS of $1.14. Multiplying those two together would give us a Price/Share of $27.97. If we were to go off of the Pro Forma EPS ($1.30/share) the equity price would be even higher at $31.89. This is obviously a very large range, but sometimes it is best not to use static prices based upon just the current year. The case also gives forward looking ratios for these companies as well. As shown below we have gone ahead and calculated what they look like moving forward. Thus, much like before using the average EBIT multiple and PE multiple for these five companies, we can extrapolate figures for JetBlue as well and come up with an equity price of $37.71 and $13.67 respectively. Taking all five of these figures into consideration and averaging them out gives us a price of $27.81. Given th...

...Analysis of JetBlue Airways JetBlue Airways is a young airline that is very successful and is also growing rapidly. In this analysis, the human resource strategies, policies, and practices will be reviewed and analyzed with suggestions as to how human resources practices and equal opportunity employment law relates to JetBlue and how these practices and laws can be beneficial to all of the organization's human resources areas but also how they can be beneficial to JetBlue as an organization with a bright future. Hiring Practices JetBlue already has impressive hiring practices because they focus on finding the right people with great attitudes. However, there are three national equal employment laws that have been identified that will impact JetBlue's hiring practices. The first law identified is the Age Discrimination Act of 1967 which prohibits "employers from discriminating against individuals who were 40 to 65 years old" (Mondy, 2012). In making sure not to discount hiring people over the age of 40 whether they have previous airline experience or not can benefit JetBlue as an organization because many workers that are over the age of 40 have a great work ethic along with great customer service skills as noted by CVS executive, Stephen Wing (Mondy, 2012). This also creates diversity in the workplace which only enhances the organization. The second law identified is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that was amended in 1972. Title VII prohibits an employer...

...leasing the aircraft verses buying them out right to save on cost. Right now, the level of mergers with airlines have increased due to the operating cost getting so high and to decrease the competition. With merging airlines together this means that many of the cost will have to be shared such as the cost of tickers and baggage fees. Customers can see the difference when they take a flight. There is a cost for everything from headphone to drinks. Airlines are cutting back on meals. Most flights only offer drinks and snacks such as cookies or crackers. “The inculcation of this set of core values within the jetBlue organization is best summarized as delivery of “the jetBlue experience”. The depth of delivery of the jetBlue experience is best measured by the level of customer satisfaction. The J.D. Powers and Associates 2007 North American Airline Satisfaction Study ranks jetBlue the highest airline in customer satisfaction, both among low-cost and traditional carriers. The study ranks, in order of importance: cost and fees; flight crew; in-flight services; aircraft; boarding/deplaning/baggage; and check-in”. Westlake (2007).
