JetBlue (JBLU) Boosts Network as Air Travel Demand Picks Up
Read MoreHide Full Article
With air-travel demand (especially for leisure) picking up following a sharp rise in the number of people getting vaccinated, JetBlue Airways Corporation (JBLU - Free Report) has launched additional round trip flights. This is in line with its objective to rebuild international demand.
As part of its expansion strategy, the carrier has started operating two new routes from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport to one of Mexico’s Los Cabos International Airport. With this, JetBlue has linked Los Cabos with both coasts of the United States with daily operations in each case. Notably, the airline will operate Los Cabos routes using its Airbus A320 aircraft.
We believe that this new service to the tourist-friendly city of Los Cabos in Mexico will help it recover from prolonged COVID-19 led crisis by attracting substantial traffic. As a result of the anticipated traffic swell, passenger revenues — accounting for bulk of the carrier’s top line — is likely to receive a boost.
Also, the carrier plans to inaugurate another 40 routes in the coming months of 2021. With growing air travel demand, JetBlue expects to operate 3% more flights in October than the 2019 levels.
Long-term (three to five years) expected earnings per share growth rate for Landstar, Triton and Herc Holdings is projected at 12%, 10% and 42.9%, respectively.

A massive push to rebuild the crumbling U.S. infrastructure will soon be underway. It’s bipartisan, urgent, and inevitable. Trillions will be spent. Fortunes will be made.
The only question is “Will you get into the right stocks early when their growth potential is greatest?”
Zacks has released a Special Report to help you do just that, and today it’s free. Discover 7 special companies that look to gain the most from construction and repair to roads, bridges, and buildings, plus cargo hauling and energy transformation on an almost unimaginable scale.
