NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq:JBLU) took home the Best Domestic Airline title from the Conde Nast Traveler's 2007 Readers' Choice Awards for the sixth consecutive year. The prestigious travel award was presented to the seven-year-old low-fare, high-frills airline during a ceremony last night in New York.
"It is a sincere honor for JetBlue and our 11,500 crewmembers to be recognized once again as the Readers' Choice airline of the year," said JetBlue CEO Dave Barger. "JetBlue is only seven years old, so to be named America's best airline for six years running truly speaks to our efforts every day to be a different kind of airline, and to bring humanity back to air travel. This recognition is a testament to our crewmembers who go out of their way for our customers every day, and who take great pride in creating a unique and valuable travel experience for them. On behalf of our entire team, thank you very much."

The results are derived from the largest independent poll of consumers' preferences, the Readers' Choice Survey, second in size only to the U.S. Census. With nearly 30,000 travelers voting this year, the lists show an even greater global variety and depth.
