Chocobillys Chocolate Chunk Cookies Added to Low-Cost Airline's Wide Variety of Tasty, Complimentary Snacks


NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- JetBlue Airways Corporation (Nasdaq:JBLU) today announced the addition of Immaculate Baking Company's Chocobillys(tm) Chocolate Chunk cookies to its complimentary snack selection. With the addition of these top-quality "Cookies with a Cause," effective December 15th, 2006, JetBlue will offer a 100% trans-fat free selection of tasty snacks and beverages.

"Customers have to actively seek out healthy snack alternatives when they're on the go, but now when they fly JetBlue any brand-name snack they choose will be trans-fat free," said David Neeleman, JetBlue's founder and CEO. "JetBlue customers deserve the best, whether it's a delicious snack, a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee, inflight entertainment choices or friendly service, and with 100% trans-fat free snack selections, we're providing the best possible customer experience."

"We're super excited about the partnership between our company and JetBlue," said Scott Blackwell, Founder and CEO of Immaculate Baking. "We applaud their initiative to serve healthier snacks on board and are delighted that our Chocobillys(tm) will be a part of this outstanding effort."

Chocobillys(tm) Chocolate Chunk cookies are handmade using only the finest, all-natural ingredients, including chocolate chunks, creamy butter and maple brown sugar. In addition to cookies, the JetBlue snack lineup also features Terra Blues(r) Potato Chips, made from naturally blue potatoes, which is the official snack of the airline. In lieu of traditional rolling carts, which often slow down service and block the aisles, JetBlue's snacks and beverages are hand-delivered by friendly inflight crewmembers. As an added bonus, the snacks are free and unlimited, and requests for seconds or thirds are never discouraged.
