- Operational performance in Q4 2025 was impacted by Hurricane Melissa and shutdown-related cancellations, resulting in an approximately one point reduction to available seat mile (ASM) growth and a one-point impact on non-fuel unit cost growth.
- An FAA emergency airworthiness directive issued on November 28th, 2025, also reduced Q4 ASM growth by approximately 0.25%, with the Company still evaluating its potential financial impact.
- Global Crossing Airlines Group, Inc. (GlobalX) reported a 11% increase in revenue to $58.0 million and a 22% increase in EBITDAR to $18.9 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to the prior-year period.
- The company's net loss improved to $(2.0) million, or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, in Q3 2025, compared to a net loss of $(4.9) million, or $(0.08) per share, in Q3 2024.
- Despite achieving record aircraft utilization, GlobalX lost approximately 500 block hours to unscheduled maintenance, impacting profitability. In response, the company has overhauled leadership, redesigned processes, and reduced over $5 million in annualized office and operating costs.
- GlobalX is expanding its fleet, having taken delivery of the first of four leased A319s and its first purchased A320, both expected in revenue service in December 2025, and secured a strategic ACMI agreement with Sunrise Airways for two A320 aircraft starting in November 2025.

- JetBlue Airways reported Q3 2025 results at the better end of guidance ranges across all metrics, including unit revenues and costs, achieving meaningful margin improvement.

- For 2026, the company aims for low single-digit unit costs and intends to build a plan for a break-even or better operating margin. This will be supported by capacity growth from new aircraft deliveries and the return of grounded aircraft, with capital expenditures expected to be at or below $1 billion annually through the end of the decade.
- Key initiatives include the "Blue Sky" collaboration with United Airlines, which enabled point accrual and redemption in Q3 2025, with interline sales and reciprocal loyalty launching in 2026.

- The company maintains a healthy liquidity of $2.9 billion as of Q3 2025 and anticipates a modest capital raise in 2026 to manage new aircraft deliveries and a $325 million convertible note maturity.

- The airline's revenue declined by 1.8% year-over-year to $2.3 billion, slightly missing analyst estimates, primarily due to a 2.9% drop in passenger revenue.

- Operating expenses per available seat mile, excluding fuel, rose by 3.7% year-over-year in Q3 2025.
- JetBlue's stock has fallen about 40% year-to-date, with analysts maintaining a Hold rating and a $5.00 price target.

- Spirit Airlines is currently in its second bankruptcy within a year and plans to furlough approximately 1,800 flight attendants, which is about one-third of its cabin crew.
- The airline is reducing its flight capacity by 25% year-over-year starting November and has already pulled out of 11 U.S. cities as part of a necessary rightsizing effort to stabilize its finances.
- These financial struggles have been exacerbated by a blocked merger with JetBlue, and Spirit's management is seeking $100 million in cost cuts from its pilots.
- Union representatives have warned that the ongoing bankruptcy process will likely lead to contract changes and cost-cutting demands on pilots and flight attendants.
- JetBlue tightened its capacity range, improved the midpoint of its revenue guide by 1.25 points, and improved the midpoint of its controllable cost guide for Q3 2025, noting the quarter is performing very well.
- The JetBlue Airways program has achieved $180 million in EBIT contribution since its launch in July 2024, with a goal of $850 million to $950 million in EBIT by the end of 2027. The company hopes to achieve $290 million by the end of 2025.

- The company is making a significant strategic bet on Fort Lauderdale, planning its biggest schedule ever this winter with 113 flights a day to 49 cities, leveraging newly available gate capacity.
- JetBlue anticipates material improvement in GTF engine issues, with average aircraft on ground (AOGs) expected to be less than 10 throughout 2025 (the peak year), and full resolution by the end of 2027, which will enable growth in 2026.
