MOTION OF JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORPORATION 

FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT 

Pursuant to Rule 12 ofthe Department's Rules of Practice (14 C.F.R. ~ 302.12), JetBlue 

Airways Corporation ("JetBlue") hereby requests confidential treatment of certain information 

contained in Schedule B-7 of JetBlue's Form 41 filing for the quarter ending March 31, 2012. 

This schedule has been submitted separately via the Department's eSubmit system pursuant to 

the Department's modified rules for submission of this data, under which a redacted copy is no 

longer required. JetBlue requests that this data be withheld from public disclosure for a period of 

at least ten (10) years. In support of this request, JetBlue states as follows: 

The Freedom oflnformation Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4), provides that privileged or 

confidential commercial and financial information obtained from a private person is specifically 

exempted from the requirements of public disclosure due to its sensitive business nature. 1 The 

information for which JetBlue requests confidential treatment is confidential and proprietary 

commercial and financial information, obtained from JetBlue, a private party, the public release 

Gulf & Westemindustries, Inc. v. United States, 615 F.2d 527, 529 (D.C. Cir. 1979). 

2 
of which would cause substantial competitive and financial injury to JetBlue. Accordingly, the 

information should be withheld from public disclosure. 

The information at issue is cost and amortization/depreciation data relating to JetBlue's 

airframes and aircraft engines as of March 31, 2012. This information is contained in columns 9 

("Cost") and 10 ("Depreciated Cost or Amortized Value") of JetBlue's Schedule B-7 (Airframes 

and Aircraft Engine Acquisitions and Retirements). JetBlue has already filed this information 

via the Department's eSubmit system with all fields completed including cost data. 

The Department has previously determined that the confidential and competitivelysensitive data contained in the B-7 schedule is entitled to confidential treatment. 

WHEREFORE, JetBlue Airways Corporation respectfully requests that the confidential 

information contained in Schedule B-7 of its Form 41 report for the quarter ending March 31, 

2012 be withheld from public disclosure for at least ten (10) years.
