 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Icahn Pledges $400 Million to Buy or Build Airline
Mar 22 2001 03:00 PM PST

 PROFILE
Fast-growing JetBlue Airways is counting on low fares to turn its ledgers jet black. Based at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, the carrier offers one-class service -- with leather seats and live satellite TV -- to more than a dozen eastern and western US cities. JetBlue, which began operations in 2000, plans to establish a second hub at Long Beach Airport outside Los Angeles. It has a fleet of 14 Airbus A-320s and commitments for more. Founded in 1999 by industry veteran David Neeleman with initial funding of $130 million -- a substantial amount for a start-up airline -- JetBlue lists billionaire financier George Soros and a unit of Chase Manhattan among its investors.
