JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2005

Note 1 – Restatement and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Restatement

We have restated our financial statements and other financial information contained in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 to reflect adjustments in our accounting for 1) rent expense under operating leases for certain airport properties containing provisions with minimum rent escalations, 2) depreciation expense for leasehold improvements with respect to certain airport locations and other facilities, and 3) the inadvertent recognition of passenger revenue related to unpaid ticket reservations. The accompanying financial statements were restated only to reflect the adjustments described below and do not reflect events occurring after April 25, 2005, the date of the filing of our original Form 10-Q, or modify or update those disclosures that have been affected by subsequent events.

The lease adjustments were originally recorded in the second quarter of 2005 since, at that time, these amounts were not considered to be material to our financial statements in any individual prior period and the cumulative amount was not expected to be material to our expected 2005 financial results. However, when combined with the revenue adjustment discovered in September 2005, the impact of these items, in the aggregate, was determined to be material to our expected 2005 financial results. Our 2004 and 2003 financial statements have also been restated in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 12, 2005, to reflect these adjustments in the proper periods even though these adjustments are not material individually, or in the aggregate, to our business, financial condition or results of operations for any of those prior years.

Rent Expense:    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting for Leases, or SFAS No. 13, provides that rent expense for operating leases containing minimum escalations should be recognized ratably over their respective lease term. Historically, we have accounted for our airport ground and facilities leases on an as-incurred basis. An extensive review of our leases revealed, however, that some of these leases contain minimum rent escalations, which resulted in rent expense not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The adjustments recognized rent expense on a straight-line basis as required. The adjustment resulted in $0.1 million increased rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Depreciation Expense for Leasehold Improvements:    Improvements made to leased space should be depreciated over their related lease term or their useful economic life, whichever is shorter. Historically, we had assumed renewal of our leases for airport space and depreciated these improvements over their expected useful economic lives. Based on recent interpretative guidance from the SEC staff, we have restated our financial statements to reflect depreciation of our leasehold improvements over the shorter of their economic lives or their remaining lease terms, including any reasonably assured renewal periods. The adjustment resulted in $0.3 million decreased depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and $0.1 million increased depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Passenger Revenue:    In September 2005, we discovered that we had inadvertently recognized passenger revenue related to unpaid ticket reservations. The adjustment decreased passenger revenue by $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2005.

The amounts of the adjustments described above are before the impact of profit sharing and income taxes. The following table sets forth the effects of the restatement on certain line items within our previously reported financial statements (in thousands, except per share data):

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation:    Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JetBlue Airways Corporation and our subsidiaries, collectively "we", "us" or the "Company", with all intercompany transactions and balances having been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our 2004 audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 (our "2004 Form 10-K/A") and our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on October 12, 2005.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by us following the rules and regulations of the SEC, and, in our opinion, reflect all adjustments including normal recurring items which are necessary to present fairly the results for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations; however, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Operating results for the periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Stock-Based Compensation:    We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per common share if we had applied the fair value method to measure stock-based compensation, as required under the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended (in thousands, except per share amounts):


  Three Months Ended

Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of tax   246     258

Earnings per common share:            
Basic – as reported $ 0.06   $ 0.15  
Basic – pro forma $ 0.01   $ 0.12  
Diluted – as reported $ 0.06   $ 0.14  
Diluted – pro forma $ 0.01   $ 0.11  

In April 2005, the SEC deferred the implementation date of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. As a result, we plan to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) effective January 1, 2006 rather than the initial implementation date of July 1, 2005.

Note 2 – Long-term Debt

On March 16, 2005, we completed a public offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of 3¾% convertible unsecured debentures due 2035, raising net proceeds of approximately $243 million. The debentures bear interest at 3¾%, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15. The first interest payment on the debentures is due September 15, 2005.

Holders may convert the debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 38.9864 shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (representing a conversion price of approximately $25.65 per share), subject to adjustment, at any time before the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2035. Upon conversion, we have the right to deliver, in lieu of shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. At any time on or prior to the 26th trading day preceding the maturity date, we may irrevocably elect to satisfy our conversion obligation with respect to the principal amount of the debentures to be converted with a combination of cash and shares of our common stock.

At any time on or after March 20, 2010, we may redeem any of the debentures for cash at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Holders may require us to repurchase the debentures for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on March 15, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025 and 2030, or at any time prior to their maturity upon the occurrence of a specified designated event.

The proceeds from our public offering in November 2004 of Series 2004-2 pass-through certificates are being held in escrow with a depositary. As aircraft are delivered, the proceeds are utilized to purchase our secured equipment notes issued to finance these aircraft. The proceeds held

7




in escrow are not assets of ours, nor are the certificates obligations of ours or guaranteed by us; therefore they are not included in our condensed consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2005, $131.9 million in equipment notes issued by us and secured by four aircraft are direct obligations of ours. At March 31, 2005, $366.3 million of proceeds from the sale of the certificates was held in escrow and not recorded as an asset or direct obligation of ours.

At March 31, 2005, the weighted average interest rate of all of our long-term debt was 4.6%, and maturities were $91.1 million for the remainder of 2005, $118.7 million in 2006, $122.0 million in 2007, $151.2 million in 2008, $100.0 million in 2009, $98.1 million in 2010 and $1.18 billion thereafter.

Note 3 – Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes changes in the fair value and reclassifications into earnings of amounts previously deferred related to our crude oil financial derivative instruments, which qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Comprehensive income consisted of the following (in thousands):

  2005 2004
Net income $ 6,432   $ 15,269  
Change in fair value of derivative contracts   17,460     7,798

Tax effect of change in fair value and reclassifications into earnings   (5,471   (1,915
Comprehensive income $ 12,918   $ 18,331  

Note 4 – Earnings Per Share

The following table shows how we computed basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands, except share data):


  Three Months Ended
March 31,
  2005 2004
Numerator:            
Net income $ 6,432   $ 15,269  
Denominator:            
Weighted-average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share   104,324,816     102,250,674  
Effect of dilutive securities:            
Employee stock options   5,672,863     7,955,748  
Unvested common stock   30,621     20,177  
Adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding and assumed conversions for diluted earnings per share   110,028,300     110,226,599  

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, 13.9 million shares and 4.1 million shares, respectively, issuable upon conversion of our convertible debt are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation since their assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive and result in an increase in diluted earnings per share.

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we excluded 8.0 million shares and 2.4 million shares, respectively, issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options from the diluted earnings per share computation, since their exercise price was greater than the average market price of our common stock and thus anti-dilutive.

Note 5 – Employee Retirement Plan

We sponsor a retirement profit sharing and 401(k) defined contribution plan, or the Plan. Our contributions expensed for the Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were $3.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

Note 6 – Commitments

At March 31, 2005, our firm aircraft orders consisted of 110 Airbus A320 aircraft, 100 Embraer E190 aircraft and 35 spare engines scheduled for delivery through 2012. Committed expenditures for these aircraft and related flight equipment, including estimated amounts for contractual price escalations and predelivery deposits, will be approximately $0.64 billion for the remainder of 2005, $1.13 billion in 2006, $1.19 billion in 2007, $1.22 billion in 2008, $1.25 billion in 2009, and $1.74 billion thereafter.

Note 7 – Contingencies

Beginning in September 2003, several lawsuits were commenced against us alleging various causes of action, including fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of contract, violation of privacy rights, as well as violations of consumer protection statutes and federal electronic communications laws. These claims arose out of our providing access to limited customer data to a government contractor in connection with a test project for military base security. Since the lawsuits are in the preliminary stages, we are unable to determine the impact they may have upon us.

Note 8 – Financial Instruments and Risk Management

As of March 31, 2005, the fair value of our $425.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible debt, based on quoted market prices, was $400.2 million. The fair value of our other long-term debt, which approximated its carrying value, was estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on our current incremental borrowing rates for instruments with similar terms. The carrying values of all other financial instruments approximated their fair values.

The Company is exposed to the effect of changes in the price and availability of aircraft fuel. To manage this risk, we periodically purchase crude oil option and swap contracts. The following is a summary of our derivative contracts (in thousands, except as otherwise indicated):


At March 31: 2005 2004
Fair value of derivative instruments at period end $ 32,443   $ 14,990  
Estimated hedged position during the next 12 months   15   40
Longest remaining term (months)   9     9  
Hedged volume (barrels)   1,215     1,785

Hedge effectiveness gains recognized in fuel expense $ 8,057   $ 5,367  
Hedge ineffectiveness losses recognized in other income       387

Note 9 – LiveTV

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, LiveTV installed satellite television systems for other airlines on 20 aircraft, bringing total installations of these systems for other airlines to 75 aircraft. Deferred profit on hardware sales and advance deposits for future hardware sales included in non-current liabilities in the accompanying condensed balance sheets was $21.2 million and $20.8 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Deferred profit to be recognized as income on installations completed through March 31, 2005 will be approximately $2.0 million for the remainder of 2005, $2.6 million for each of the next four years and $5.1 million thereafter.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Outlook

We expect our full-year operating capacity for 2005 to increase by approximately 26% to 28% over 2004. While the industry revenue environment remains extremely competitive, our passenger revenue per available seat mile is expected to be slightly higher in 2005 than it was in 2004. Fuel costs have risen sharply in 2005 and may increase further. Assuming fuel cost per gallon of $1.42, net of hedging, our cost per available seat mile is expected to increase by 8% to 10% over 2004 and our operating margin is expected to be between 5% and 7% for 2005. Our 2005 forecast excludes the effects of any additional stock compensation expense that we would incur from the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which has been delayed until January 1, 2006. We continue to assess our implementation options and evaluate the impact this pronouncement will have on us.

Results of Operations

The U.S. domestic airline environment continues to be extremely challenging primarily due to aircraft fuel prices remaining at or near record high levels and sustained widespread price competition. As a result of these factors, which are largely outside of our control, we saw a significant reduction in our profitability for the quarter compared to 2004.

During the quarter, our operations were impacted by several snowstorms in the Northeast, which were responsible for nearly all of our 342 flight cancellations in the quarter. Operations were also adversely impacted by airport congestion, particularly in Fort Lauderdale. These delays did not have a significant impact on our financial performance, however they did impact our operational performance. During the first quarter of 2005, we achieved a completion factor of 98.6% of scheduled flights versus 99.8% in the first quarter of 2004. Additionally, on-time performance, defined by the U.S. Department of Transportation as arrivals within 14 minutes of schedule, was 65.6% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 83.7% for the same period in 2004.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 decreased to $6.4 million from $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and represented our 17th consecutive quarterly profit. Diluted earnings per share was $0.06 for the first quarter of 2005 compared with $0.14 for the same period in 2004. Our operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 6.6%, down 4.7 points from 2004 and operating income was $24.8 million in 2005, down $8.0 million from the same period in 2004.

Operating Revenues.    Operating revenues increased 29.2%, or $84.3 million, primarily due to an increase in passenger revenues. Increased passengers resulting from a 23.0% increase in departures, or $88.1 million, partially offset by a 2.9% decrease in yield, or $10.8 million, drove the increase in passenger revenues of $77.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. We experienced higher seasonal traffic in the first quarter of 2005 than we did in the first quarter of 2004 due to Easter falling in the first quarter of 2005 versus the second quarter of 2004. Other revenue increased 74.1%, or $6.9 million, primarily due to increases in LiveTV third party revenues of $2.5 million and increased change fees of $1.8 million resulting from more passengers.

10




Operating Expenses.    Operating expenses increased 36.0%, or $92.3 million, due to an average of 15.6 additional aircraft in service in 2005 and a 42.6% increase in fuel cost per gallon. Operating capacity increased 22.5% to 5.17 billion available seat miles. Average stage length remained flat. Operating expenses per available seat mile increased 11.0% to 6.74 cents for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Had fuel prices remained at the 2004 levels, our cost per available seat mile, or CASM, would have only increased by 4.1% to 6.32 cents. In detail, operating costs per available seat mile were (percent changes are based on unrounded numbers):

Total operating expenses   6.74     6.07     11.0

Salaries, wages and benefits increased 26.7%, or $20.7 million, due to an increase in average full-time equivalent employees of 27.9% in 2005 compared to 2004. Cost per available seat mile increased 3.4% primarily as a result of increased wage rates.

Aircraft fuel expense increased 75.9%, or $37.4 million, due to 12.6 million more gallons of aircraft fuel consumed resulting in $11.5 million of additional fuel expense and, after the impact of fuel hedging, a 42.6% increase in average fuel cost per gallon, or $25.9 million. Aircraft fuel prices remain at or near historically high levels, with our average fuel cost per gallon at $1.31 compared to $0.92 at March 31, 2004. Cost per available seat mile increased 43.6% primarily due to the increase in average fuel cost per gallon.

Landing fees and other rents increased 20.6%, or $4.4 million, due to a 23.0% increase in departures over 2004. Cost per available seat mile decreased 1.6% due to higher capacity.

Depreciation and amortization increased 52.1%, or $8.4 million, due to having 15.4 more average owned aircraft during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Cost per available seat mile increased 24.1% primarily due to a higher percentage of our aircraft fleet being owned.

Aircraft rent increased 3.2%, or $0.6 million. Cost per available seat mile decreased 15.7% due a smaller percentage of our fleet being leased and higher capacity.

Sales and marketing expense increased 44.9%, or $6.0 million, due to $3.5 million in higher advertising and $2.5 million in higher credit card fees resulting from increased passenger revenues. On a cost per available seat mile basis, sales and marketing expense increased 18.3% due to timing of advertising costs. We book our reservations through a combination of our website (76.4%) and our own reservation agents (23.6%).

Maintenance materials and repairs increased 8.3%, or $1.0 million, due to having 15.6 more average operating aircraft in 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 and a gradual aging of our fleet offset by lower engine repairs. Cost per available seat mile decreased 11.6% due to the timing of engine overhauls. Maintenance is expected to increase significantly as our fleet ages.

11




Other operating expenses increased 28.4%, or $13.8 million, primarily due to higher variable costs associated with increased capacity and number of passengers served. Cost per available seat mile increased 4.8% as a result of an increase in LiveTV third-party installations and fuel related taxes and services.

Other Income (Expense).    Interest expense increased 110%, or $10.8 million, due primarily to the debt financing of 16 additional aircraft which resulted in $7.8 million in additional interest expense and higher rates which resulted in $3.0 million in additional interest expense. Capitalized interest increased 141%, or $2.2 million, primarily due to higher predelivery deposit balances, higher construction in progress and higher rates. Interest income increased 123%, or $1.7 million, primarily due to higher interest rates in 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $55.0 million and investment securities of $596.7 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $18.7 million and investment securities of $430.4 million at December 31, 2004. Cash flows from operating activities were $71.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $53.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to the growth of our business. We rely primarily on operating cash flows to provide working capital.

Investing activities.    During the three months ended March 31, 2005, capital expenditures related to our purchase of flight equipment included expenditures of $127.0 million for four Airbus A320 aircraft, $48.5 million for flight equipment deposits and $10.1 million for spare part purchases. Capital expenditures for other property and equipment, including ground equipment purchases and facilities improvements, were $37.8 million. Net cash used in the purchase and sale of available-for-sale securities was $149.4 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, capital expenditures related to our purchase of flight equipment included expenditures of $141.0 million for four Airbus aircraft, $33.0 million for flight equipment deposits and $4.0 million for spare part purchases. Capital expenditures for other property and equipment, including ground equipment purchases and facilities improvements, were $9.9 million. Net cash provided in the purchase and sale of available-for-sale securities was $59.9 million.

Financing activities.    Financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 consisted of (1) the financing of four aircraft with $131.9 million in floating rate equipment notes purchased with proceeds from our public offering of Series 2004-2 pass-through certificates, (2) the issuance of $250 million of 3¾% convertible debentures, raising net proceeds of approximately $243 million, and (3) scheduled maturities of $17.8 million of debt. The net proceeds from our convertible debt offering are being used to fund working capital and capital expenditures, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of aircraft and construction of facilities on or near airports.

We currently have shelf registration statements on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to the issuance of $1 billion aggregate amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or pass-through certificates. The net proceeds of any securities we sell under these registration statements may be used to fund working capital and capital expenditures, including the purchase of aircraft and construction of facilities on or near airports. Through March 31, 2005, we had issued $748 million in securities under these registration statements.

Financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 consisted primarily of (1) the financing of two aircraft with $65.3 million in floating note equipment notes purchased with proceeds from our public offering of Series 2004-1 pass-through certificates, (2) the financing of two aircraft with $68.0 million of 12-year floating rate equipment notes issued to various European banks, (3) the repayment of three spare engine notes totaling $9.0 million, and (4) scheduled maturities of debt of $12.2 million.

13




Working Capital.    Our working capital was $177.5 million at March 31, 2005. We expect to meet our obligations as they become due through available cash, investment securities and internally generated funds, supplemented as necessary by debt and/or equity financings and proceeds from sale and leaseback transactions. We expect to continue generating positive working capital through our operations. However, we cannot predict whether current trends and conditions will continue or what the effect on our business might be from the extremely competitive environment we are operating in or from events that are beyond our control, such as increased fuel prices, the impact of airline bankruptcies or consolidations, U.S. military actions, or acts of terrorism. We have secured financing for all of our remaining aircraft deliveries scheduled for 2005. We believe the working capital available to us will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations

Our noncancelable contractual obligations at March 31, 2005 include the following (in millions):

There has been no material change in the terms of our debt instruments or financial covenants from the information provided in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2004 Form 10-K/A. There are no new covenants associated with our convertible debt issued in March 2005. At March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with the covenants of all of our debt and lease agreements. We have $24.0 million of restricted cash pledged under standby letters of credit related to certain of our leases which expire at the end of the related lease terms.

As of March 31, 2005, we operated a fleet of 73 Airbus A320 aircraft, of which 48 were owned and 25 were leased under operating leases. The average age of our fleet was 2.3 years at March 31, 2005.

Committed expenditures for our 210 firm aircraft and 35 spare engines include estimated amounts for contractual price escalations and predelivery deposits. Debt financing has been arranged for all of our remaining 2005 Airbus A320 aircraft deliveries and lease financing has been arranged for the first 30 of our Embraer E190 aircraft deliveries. Although we believe that debt and/or lease financing should be available for our remaining aircraft deliveries, we cannot assure you that we will be able to secure financing on terms attractive to us, if at all, which may require us to modify our aircraft acquisition plans. Anticipated capital expenditures for facility improvements, spare parts, and ground purchases for the remainder of 2005 are projected to be approximately $150 million in the aggregate.

Boston's Logan International Airport Expansion.    In March 2005, we entered into a lease for Terminal C at Boston's Logan International Airport. We plan to begin operating out of this terminal in May 2005, utilizing five of the 11 gates by the end of the year and gradually moving into the remaining gates over the next three years. We are committed to lease the entire terminal through 2009, which is reflected in the table above, with renewal options through 2029.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have evaluated our interests in variable interest entities as defined by FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and have determined that we hold a significant variable interest in, but are not the primary beneficiary of, certain pass-through trusts which are the purchasers of equipment notes issued by us and held by such pass-through trusts. The proceeds from the sale of the certificates are being held in escrow with a depositary. As aircraft are delivered, the proceeds are utilized to purchase our secured equipment notes issued to finance these aircraft. The proceeds held in escrow are not assets of ours, nor are the certificates obligations of ours or guaranteed by us; therefore they are not included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The certificates contain liquidity facilities whereby a third party agrees to make payments sufficient to pay up to 18 months of interest on the applicable certificates if a payment default occurs. The liquidity providers for our Series 2004-1 certificates are Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale and Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc. The liquidity providers for our Series 2004-2 certificates are Landesbank Baden-Württemberg and Citibank, N.A.

15




We utilize a policy provider to provide credit support on the Class G-1 and Class G-2 certificates. The policy provider has unconditionally guaranteed the payment of interest on the certificates when due and the payment of principal on the certificates no later than 18 months after the final expected regular distribution date. The policy provider is MBIA Insurance Corporation (a subsidiary of MBIA, Inc.). Financial information for the parent company of the policy provider is available at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov or at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C.

We have also made certain guarantees and indemnities to other unrelated parties that are not reflected on our balance sheet, which we believe will not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2004 Form 10-K/A.

Other Information

New Service.    We continue to add new destinations, as reflected by our new daily non-stop service between New York and both Portland, OR and Burbank, CA scheduled to begin in May 2005. This new service will allow us to offer more daily non-stop flights to California from New York City than any other airline.

Recent Awards.    In April 2005, we were rated as the top airline for the second consecutive year in domestic quality among the 16 largest U.S. airlines in the National Airline Quality Rating study conducted by the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Wichita State University.

LiveTV.    In April 2005, LiveTV entered into an agreement with Virgin Blue, an Australian airline, for the sale of certain hardware and installation, programming and maintenance of their live in-seat satellite television system. Virgin Blue has committed to equip 51 of their Boeing 737 aircraft with the LiveTV system and has the option to install the system on additional aircraft.

Forward-Looking Information.    This report contains forward-looking statements relating to future events and our future performance including, without limitation, statements regarding financial forecasts or projections, our expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies that are signified by the words "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "believes", "plans", or similar language. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date of this report. It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year progress, and therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections and beliefs upon which we base our expectations may change prior to the end of each quarter or the year. Although these expectations may change, we may not inform you if they do. Our policy is generally to provide our expectations only once per quarter, and not to update that information until the next quarter.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are based on information currently available to us. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward looking statements due to many factors, including without limitation, our extremely competitive industry, our ability to implement our growth strategy, including the integration of the Embraer E190 aircraft into our operations, our significant fixed obligations and our reliance on high daily aircraft utilization, increases in maintenance costs, fuel prices and interest rates, our dependence on the New York market, seasonal fluctuations in our operating results, our reliance on sole suppliers, government regulation, the loss of key personnel and potential problems with our workforce, the potential liability associated with the handling of our customer data, and future acts of terrorism or the threat of such acts or escalation of U.S. military involvement overseas.

Additional information concerning these and other factors is contained in our SEC filings, including but not limited to, our 2004 Form 10-K/A.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in market risks from the information provided in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included in our 2004 Form 10-K/A, except as follows:

Aircraft fuel.    As of March 31, 2005, we had hedged approximately 20% of our expected remaining 2005 fuel requirements using crude oil swaps. Our results of operations are affected by changes in the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Market risk is estimated as a hypothetical 10% increase in the March 31, 2005 cost per gallon of fuel, including the effects of our fuel hedges. Based on our projected twelve month fuel consumption, such an increase would result in an increase to aircraft fuel expense of approximately $45 million, compared to an estimated $18 million for 2004 measured as of March 31, 2004. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information.

Fixed Rate Debt.    On March 31, 2005, our $425.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible debt had an estimated fair value of $400.2 million, based on quoted market prices.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Restatement

We have identified adjustments that were required to be recorded in prior periods relating to the way we had accounted for 1) rent expense under operating leases for certain airport properties with minimum rent escalations, 2) depreciation expense for leasehold improvements with respect to certain airport locations and other facilities, and 3) the inadvertent recognition of passenger revenue related to unpaid ticket reservations. The lease adjustments were originally recorded in the second quarter of 2005 since, at that time, these amounts were not considered to be material to our financial statements in any individual prior period and the cumulative amount was not expected to be material to our 2005 financial results. However, when combined with the revenue adjustment discovered in September 2005, the impact of these items, in the aggregate, was determined to be material to our expected 2005 financial results. Descriptions of these adjustments follow:

Rent Expense.    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting for Leases, or SFAS No. 13, provides that rent expense for operating leases containing minimum escalations should be recognized ratably over their respective lease term. Historically, we have accounted for our airport ground and facilities leases on an as-incurred basis. An extensive review of our leases revealed, however, that some of these leases contain minimum rent escalations, which resulted in rent expense not being recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The adjustment recognized rent expense on a straight-line basis as required. The adjustment resulted in increased rent expense of $0.4 million and $1.1 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively, with no impact during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Depreciation Expense for Leasehold Improvements.    Improvements made to leased space should be depreciated over their related lease term or their useful economic life, whichever is shorter. Historically, we had assumed renewal of our leases for airport space and depreciated these improvements over their expected useful economic lives. Based on recent interpretative guidance from the SEC staff, we have restated our financial statements to reflect depreciation of our leasehold improvements over the shorter of their economic lives or their remaining lease terms, including any reasonably assured renewal periods. The adjustment resulted in increased depreciation expense of $0.2 million and $0.3 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The adjustment also increased depreciation expense by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Passenger Revenue.    In September 2005, during the performance of our monthly reconciliation control over air traffic liability, we discovered that we had inadvertently recognized passenger revenue related to unpaid ticket reservations. The adjustment decreased passenger revenue by $1.4 million in 2004 and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

After management's initial review of the potential adjustment to passenger revenue on October 3, 2005 and taking into account our previously determined adjustments related to lease agreements,

17




which were recorded in the second quarter of 2005, management recommended to our Audit Committee that, upon completion of our analysis of the financial impact of the unpaid ticket reservations error described above, our previously filed 2005 financial statements should be restated to reflect the correction of each of these items as the impact of these items, in the aggregate, was determined to be material to our expected 2005 financial results. The Audit Committee agreed with this recommendation. On October 10, 2005, upon completion of our analysis, the Audit Committee approved our restated financial statements which are included herein.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the restatement, we reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. We concluded that our failure to correctly apply SFAS No. 13, and its related interpretations, with respect to the recognition of rent expense related to operating leases with minimum rent escalation clauses and depreciation expense for leasehold improvements combined with the error in the recognition of passenger revenue did, in the aggregate, constitute a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Solely as a result of this material weakness, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2005.

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control

We have performed an extensive review of our leases and our leasehold improvements in an effort to ensure that this Amendment No. 1 reflects all necessary adjustments to our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005. We have also designed new internal control procedures to remediate the controls over unpaid ticket reservations and to ensure that new leases and changes to existing leases, as well as future leasehold improvements, will be accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the following:

•  We have designed a checklist to facilitate the identification of terms in all new lease agreements and amendments to existing lease agreements that require additional analysis or accounting;
•  We have added an additional review of the depreciable lives for leasehold improvements, to ensure that the assigned lives are consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and;
•  We have added a control to our monthly account reconciliation process to review the age of receivables to ensure timely follow-up has been performed on unpaid ticket reservations. We have also reemphasized with our employees who are responsible for resolving unpaid reservations about the importance of performing these duties on a timely basis.

We believe we have taken the steps necessary to remediate these significant deficiencies, which when aggregated, were determined to have resulted in a material weakness in our internal controls; however, we cannot confirm the effectiveness of our enhanced internal controls until we and our independent auditors have conducted sufficient testing. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor vigorously the effectiveness of these processes, procedures and controls, and will make any further changes as management determines appropriate.

Changes in Internal Controls

Other than as expressly noted above in this Item 4, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), identified in connection with the evaluation of our controls performed during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

Beginning September 2003, we became aware that several lawsuits were commenced against us in the 3rd Judicial District Court of Utah, San Diego Superior Court, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, alleging various causes of action, including fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of contract, violation of privacy rights, as well as violations of consumer protection statutes and federal electronic communications laws. These claims arose out of our providing access to limited customer data to a government contractor in connection with a test project for military base security. While the Utah action has been dismissed with prejudice and our motion to dismiss is pending in the consolidated actions in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the litigation is in its preliminary stage and we are unable to determine the impact it may have upon us.

In the ordinary course of our business, we are party to various other legal proceedings and claims which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. We believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings to which we are currently a party will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, 3,052 shares of common stock were surrendered or withheld in connection with the payment of the exercise price or withholding of taxes in respect of the exercise of outstanding stock options.

Item 5.    Other Information.

Public Offering of Convertible Debentures

On March 16, 2005, we completed a public offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of 3¾% convertible debentures due 2035, sold under the Securities Act of 1933. Net proceeds from this offering were approximately $243 million, after deducting underwriters' discounts and other expenses incurred in connection with the offering. The debentures bear interest at 3¾% payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15. The first interest payment on the debentures is due September 15, 2005. The debentures are our senior unsecured debt and rank equal in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured debt, including $175 million principal amount of our 3½% convertible notes due 2033. The debentures rank junior in right of payment to our secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. In addition, the debentures rank junior in right of payment to the existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries. The net proceeds of the offering are being used to fund working capital and capital expenditures, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of aircraft and construction of facilities on or near airports.

Holders may convert the debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 38.9864 shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (representing a conversion price of approximately $25.65 per share), subject to adjustment, at any time before the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2035. Upon conversion, we have the right to deliver, in lieu of shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. At any time on or prior to the 26th trading day preceding the maturity date, we may irrevocably elect to satisfy our conversion obligation with respect to the principal amount of the debentures to be converted with a combination of cash and shares of our common stock.

At any time on or after March 20, 2010, we may redeem any of the debentures for cash at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Holders may require us to repurchase the debentures for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on March 15, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025 and 2030, or at any time prior to their maturity upon the occurrence of a specified designated event.
