NEW YORK--()--JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) proudly announced today that its dedicated crewmembers have logged over 1.5 million volunteer hours since launching its service initiative in 2011, giving back to communities across its network and beyond. To celebrate this milestone and continue its commitment to service this Giving Tuesday, JetBlue is donating 3 million TrueBlue points to its charitable partners.

“Since JetBlue’s inception, service has been an intrinsic part of our mission to bring humanity back to air travel,” said Icema Gibbs, vice president of corporate social responsibility and diversity, equity and inclusion, JetBlue. “Beyond our operation, our service extends on the ground through the volunteer efforts of our incredible crewmembers. Reaching 1.5 million hours of caring is a direct reflection of their dedication to giving back.”

Through JetBlue For Good®, the airline fosters a culture of service by supporting causes that matter to its customers and crewmembers. These efforts include fundraising, community events, environmental cleanups, and disaster relief, making a meaningful impact where its people live, work, and fly.

3 Million Points with Purpose

To celebrate the achievement, this Giving Tuesday, JetBlue is donating 3 million TrueBlue points across its charitable partners and encourages customers to join in on the good through its TrueBlue Points Donation platform. JetBlue is proud to support 20 charitable organizations year-round. All points donated go directly to the selected charity, and each charity may use the points for travel for their organization.

Sharing Good in 2024:

  • Community Connection – JetBlue crewmembers give back to a variety of causes and nonprofits throughout JetBlue’s 100+ cities in the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. In 2024 alone, crewmembers logged more than 49,000 volunteer hours, supporting over 800 organizations. As part of JetBlue’s ‘Flights for Fifty’ program, crewmembers have the opportunity to donate two round-trip travel certificates to a charity of their choice for every 50 hours of service logged.
  • Supporting Puerto Rico – This year, JetBlue brought good to Puerto Rico through various initiatives including the airline’s signature Soar with Reading initiative. Through partnership with Little Free Libraries, JetBlue and its crewmembers installed seven free book sharing boxes across the island. JetBlue also supported this year’s SOMOS Puerto Rico Conference, which unites the Latino community on public policy in collaboration with the New York State Assembly and Senate Puerto Rican & Hispanic Task Force. Participants packed over 700 backpacks with essential school supplies to support local organizations and students in need, adding to JetBlue’s more than 2,000 backpacks donated this year.
  • ‘Sweet Cases’ for Foster Love – JetBlue teamed up with long-standing partner, Foster Love, to provide foster children with hand-decorated duffel bags and care items, also known as ‘Sweet Cases.’ In November, crewmembers from more than 35 cities across the airline’s network volunteered their time to package over 700 duffle bags.
