JetBlue Sets Jetting to Green Environmental Initiatives

(May 21, 2008 - Modern Agent) -- JetBlue Airways announced Jetting to Green, a series of initiatives designed to reduce the airline’s environmental impact and make a difference within the company, the airline industry and the communities it serves. Jetting to Green offers JetBlue customers the opportunity to offset carbon dioxide emissions generated by their travel through an instrumental partnership with www.Carbonfund.org.

The airline is also partnering with Airbus, Honeywell Aerospace and International Aero Engines to pursue development of a sustainable second-generation biofuel for use in commercial aircraft. The companies’ joint activity will help develop renewable energy technology to convert vegetation- and algae-based oils into aviation fuels.

Other elements of Jetting to Green include increasing operational procedures that minimize the airline’s environmental footprint, publishing an environmental and social report, and connecting crewmembers and customers with opportunities to volunteer and make a difference in their own neighborhoods. Complete program details can be found at www.jetblue.com/green.

JetBlue is celebrating the program by conducting a Jetting to Green sweepstakes with the opportunity to win a Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle and other green prizes. To celebrate the launch of Jetting to Green, JetBlue is offering a chance to win a variety of green prizes, including a Toyota Prius hybrid, an Energy Star qualified Sharp Aquos LCD television with a Blue-ray Disc player, and a Green Planet Films DVD library.
