| Country in archive | United States | United States |
| Founded | 1999 | March 9, 1967 |
| Founder | David Neeleman | Herb Kelleher and Rollin King |
| Headquarters | Long Island City, New York, United States | Dallas, Texas, United States |
| Name origin | The sources used here do not explain why the name JetBlue was chosen. They record that David Neeleman founded the company in 1999 as "NewAir" and that the founders first wanted to call it "Taxi", with a yellow livery to evoke New York, until investor JP Morgan objected. | The airline was incorporated in 1967 as Air Southwest Co. and took the name Southwest Airlines in 1971, when it began flying within Texas. The sources used here do not explain why the founders chose the word Southwest, so no meaning is claimed beyond the name's plain geographic sense. |
