JetBlue (JBLU) Receives Delivery of Its First Airbus A220-300
Read MoreHide Full Article
JetBlue Airways Corporation (JBLU - Free Report) received delivery of its first Airbus A220-300 aircraft, registered as — N3008J — on the very last day of December. JetBlue is currently expecting to take delivery of 69 more Airbus A220 aircraft, all from the family’s -300 variant. The remaining planes will be delivered in a phased manner.
This low-cost carrier aims to replace its current fleet of 60 Embraer 190 by the more efficient A220 jets. According to the carrier, the A220 will cost 30% less to operate per seat than the existing E190. A220 aircraft has longer maintenance intervals and improved reliability that will inevitably reduce maintenance cost per seat by more than 40%. The A220 is powered exclusively by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines, which deliver double-digit improvements in fuel and carbon emissions. This reduction in per-seat emission will enable JetBlue to move closer to its target of achieving net zero carbon emissions across all operations by 2040.
Robin Hayes, CEO, JetBlue, stated, “The A220 is a next-generation aircraft our customers and crewmembers will love, featuring impressive range and superior economics to support critical financial and operating priorities along with new network planning flexibility”.
The company aims to reveal the details of the modernized customer-friendly A220 cabin later this month.
Long-term expected earnings per share (three to five years) growth rate for Knight-Swift, FedEx and Herc Holdings is pegged at 15%, 12% and 12.6%, respectively.
These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.
Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.
