TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 18, 2008, JetBlue Airways Corporation (“JetBlue”) announced, at the Calyon Securities
conference via publicly accessible webcast, that it had executed leases for two of its existing
EMBRAER 190 aircraft. JetBlue also announced that it had executed a purchase agreement relating to
the sale of four new EMBRAER 190 aircraft scheduled for initial delivery to JetBlue in the first
quarter of 2009. The subsequent deliveries of these aircraft to a third party are scheduled to
occur immediately after such aircraft are received by JetBlue. The purchase agreement relating to
the sale of the four EMBRAER 190 aircraft is subject to various contingencies, including third
party lease negotiations. It is anticipated that all six of these EMBRAER 190 aircraft will
eventually be operated by Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras, SA.
