JetBlue

Paper Summary:

This report examines the success and future potential of one of the new players in the airline industry. JetBlue is a fairly new organization that has been very successful in spite of the airline industry's recent demise. This report defines the domestic airline industry as it applies to JetBlue by doing an analysis of JetBlue's external environment, opportunities, and threats. By reviewing the industry life cycle, macro environmental trends, competitors, strengths, and weaknesses of three major competitors, like Southwest Airlines, the paper assesses the company's internal strengths and weaknesses.

From the Paper:

"The situation in the airline industry is near dire. Major airlines such as American Airlines, Delta, United and Continental have all considered or are pursuing bankruptcy as a way to stave off ultimate organizational collapse. Since deregulation, the only alternative for the major airlines has been bankruptcy as a way to remain solvent. The events of September 11, 2001, where terrorists hijacked jetliners and used them as missiles to attack several sites including the World Trade Center and the Pentagon are thought to be the reason the airline industry is in such financial trouble."
