Mario Tama | Getty Images JetBlue Airways is talking with “multiple airlines” about a potential new partnership after federal judges struck down two previous deals, the carrier’s president said Wednesday. “If we find a deal that’s accretive, we’ll absolutely do it,” JetBlue’s president, Marty St. George, said at a Barclays industry conference. A federal judge in 2023 ruled the New York airline’s partnership in the Northeast with American Airlines was anticompetitive, while a different judge last year blocked JetBlue’s plan to acquire budget carrier Spirit Airlines, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year. JetBlue representatives didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. JetBlue, which marked its 25th year of flying this month, has been searching for partnerships and deals to grow, arguing it must do so to better compete with larger carriers like Delta, American and United. St. George said a potential tie-up would benefit the company’s loyalty program, noting that customers say the frequent flyer points on JetBlue are not as strong as those of the big three U.S. carriers. “Given that we really don’t have full global earn and burn, I think to be able to add that to our network would be very, very helpful,” he said.
