JetBlue Airways Corporation (JBLU)

JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU), announces today the decision to not move its corporate headquarters to Orlando and keep its headquarters in New York City. JetBlue will combine the current Forest Hills, NY and Darien, CT corporate offices, with nearly 1,000 crewmembers and business partners in total, into one main support center to be located in Long Island City, Queens. In addition, recognizing JetBlue as New York's Hometown Airline, JetBlue and New York State will begin joint branding of the world-recognized I Love NY logo, an unprecedented partnership with the State's iconic brand.
"After an exhaustive study to determine the best location for our corporate offices, we have decided that remaining in our hometown of New York makes the most sense for our company" said Dave Barger, JetBlue Chief Executive Officer. "JetBlue's plans to invest millions directly into New York's economy will create more jobs and provide more opportunities for all New Yorkers" said Governor David Paterson.
