JetBlue chief executive officer Robin Hayes has said during an earnings
conference call that the airline is "very disappointed with the continued delays to our A321neo program".
The problems stem from customisation issues surrounding the Airbus Cabin Flex concept.
However, this issue is not new according to a Cowen and Co report, which states that JetBlue was initially expected to take delivery of 13 A321neosin 2019, but given various delays there has been a lot of movement in terms of when those aircraft are expected to come.
The report also states that in the first quarter of 2019, management expected to take delivery of a minimum of six A320neos in 2019 and now JetBlue expects a maximum of six deliveries.
During its latest earnings report, the airline posted that revenue of $2.11 billion, up 9.2% from $1.93 billion in the same period last year.
Meanwhile, its operating profit for the second quarter of 2019 stood at $250 million, up from a loss of $152 million during the same period last year.
The airline's capacity increased 5.9% during the second quarter ending, and it is now expected that its capacity will increase 3% to 5% during the third quarter - lower than numbers expected by JetBlue.
In June, the airline’s first A321neo was delivered - four months late. The carrier is scheduled to take 84 A321neos through to 2026.
