JetBlue ... The crisis? Never heard of it…

1 The domestic air transport market in the USA must seem

highly unstable to newcomers, including low-cost carriers.

Of the 82 airlines formed in ten years ______ followed

deregulation in 1978, only two have survived - America West

5 and Mid-west Express. Statistics show that three-quarters of

all projects never even get off the ground and that most of the

others crash in less than five years.

Paradoxically, Southwest Airlines, the No.1 success

story in the US air transport today, was founded before

10 deregulation (in 1972), though it did take advantage of it.

Many of those who tried to imitate the Southwest model

came to grief. Not JetBlue, ______ just four years after it was

formed is continuing to grow at a spectacular rate.
