On March 30, 2018, JetBlue Airways Corporation (“JetBlue”) and International Aero Engines, LLC (“IAE”) entered into an amended and restated engine purchase and services agreement for PW1100G-JM engines (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides for the purchase and exclusive maintenance of PW1100G-JM engines on 85 A320neo family aircraft to be purchased by JetBlue from Airbus S.A.S., as well as 13 spare PW1100G-JM engines. JetBlue expects to begin taking delivery of A320neo family aircraft in 2019.
The maintenance component of the Agreement fixes the amount JetBlue pays per flight hour in exchange for maintenance and repairs under a predetermined maintenance program. Future payments are based on minimum flight hours and other factors, including a price adjustment matrix and changes in fleet size. The Agreement contains customary supplemental work and part provisions, representations, warranties and guarantees, termination provisions and reconciliation provisions tied to fleet size.
The preceding description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement which JetBlue intends to file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
