JetBlue receives perfect score on HRC's Corporate Equality Index
Airline recognized as one of America's Best Places to Work.

JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU) is proud to announce it has earned a top rating on the Human Rights Campaign's 2010 Corporate Equality Index and Best Places to Work survey, a leading indicator of companies' attitudes and policies toward lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff and customers.

The New York-based airline scored a perfect 100 in the annual ratings, reflecting its commitment to making JetBlue a great place to work for all 12,000 of its crewmembers throughout the Americas.

JetBlue's high rating also recognized the airline's marketing and outreach efforts to the LGBT community. The airline proudly supports events and organizations of importance to its crewmembers and its customers such as the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association; the Gay Men's Domestic Violence Project and Harbor to the Bay in Boston; the Ali Forney Center in New York; and Pride celebrations in cities including Salt Lake City and Long Beach and Sacramento, Calif.

"JetBlue is honored to be on top of the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index and to be recognized as one of its Best Places to Work," said Dave Clark, JetBlue's Chief People Officer. "JetBlue has always done things a little differently, from the embracing culture our crewmembers have created, to the warm welcome we extend to all customers, to the wide range of organizations we support. We are proud of HRC's recognition and committed to ensuring that JetBlue continues to be one of America's best companies to work at."

The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
