From the Paper:

"It appears that the airline industry will continue to struggle in the near future (3-5 years) (Peterson, 2004). Innovation among this industry has been stagnant and the structure of the industry desperately needs reform. However, JetBlue has an advantage in that the industry giants/multi-national firms are too large to react to the changing environment in a fast and effective manner. This creates a large opportunity for JetBlue to innovate and develop new cost efficient means of air travel. The terrorist attacks were a significant blow in exposing the weakness of the air transportation industry that were lingering for decades, but their needs to be a positive, defining moment where the industry innovates and decides to change the status quo and the industry. While Jet Blue has showed innovation in this area, the multi-national firms dominate the industry and they are not successful. The bottom line is without more leaders, the airline industry as a whole will continue to disintegrate and will not be an investment worthy area for years to come."
