Not sure what's up, but 2 JB 320 acft parked out back by NW/DAL hangar C in MSP - the ones used for heavy check, new acft prep, and other deep maintenance. This is not where you park overnight acft. JB off shores their heavy maintenance.

Since JB is selling some acft these might be possible DAL acquisitions? Also buying JB whole would solve the JFK terminal issue .

Something is going on.....

I don't know why the aircraft are parked in MSP, but buying JBLU would not solve the terminal issue. Their terminal is a beautiful domestic terminal that isn't configured for widebodies/customs clearance. If I'm not mistaken, their international flights use Terminal 4 customs.

Charters maybe? They might not fit over on the Corporate side?

Maybe something broke on them and needed to be fixed and they do the contract MX there? We often have Comair planes parked by our hangar in PHL.

Yes, but JB does not fly to MSP. Saw the same thing as well. However buying JB airplanes doesn't make sense. Have ya seen how many jets we have parked all over the MSP hangar ramps. Last time I saw those many idle airplanes was the night before our strike

Heyas,

If I recall, JBs Airbusses have V2500s, which don't play nice with CFMs.

There are better places to get a few Airbii that have CFMs....unless they're going for the whole kit'n'kaboodle!

They do the CAL charter for the Min/Cal game this week? If not they might be for some of the fans. They like Jet Blue in CA.

The company is very active in football and business charters right now. We are also in PHL this weekend for a charter, which would logically then make us additionally an airways rumour...

No... it wouldn't; no customs, and it won't fit big airplanes withour a big remodel.

If JB is purchased control of T5 goes back to the port authority, a "poison pill" so to speak...
