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

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

contained in Schedules B-7 and B-43 of JetBlue's Form 41 filing for the quarter ending

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 of Information 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

2
commercial and financial information, obtained from JetBlue, a private party, the public release

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 or capitalized value, amortization/depreciation and

realization data relating to JetBlue's airframes and aircraft engines as of December 31,2013.

This information is contained in column 9 ("Cost") of JetBlue's Schedule B-7 (Airframes and

Aircraft Engine Acquisitions and Retirements) and columns 10, 11, 12, and 13 of JetBlue's

Schedule B-43. (See Index A). JetBlue already has 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 and B-43 schedules is entitled to confidential treatment.

WHEREFORE, JetBlue Airways Corporation respectfully requests that the confidential

information contained in Schedules B-7 and B-43 of its Form 41 report for the quarter ending
