MOTION OF JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORPORATION 

FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT 

Pursuant to Rule 12 ofthe Department's Rules of Practice (14 C.F.R. 'lf302.12), 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 September 30, 

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 (l 0) 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 

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

1 Gulf & Western Industries, 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 

infonnation should be withheld from public disclosure. 

The information at issue is cost or capitalized value, amortization/depreciation and 

residual value data relating to JetBlue's airframes and aircraft engines as of September 30, 2012. 

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

Aircraft Engine Acquisitions and Retirements). JetBlue has already filed this infom1ation 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 

infonnation contained in Schedule B-7 of its Fonn 41 report for the quarter ending September 

30, 2012 be withheld fi·om public disclosure for at least ten (1 0) years.
