JetBlue Airways Corp. shares surged on March 25, 2026, following reports of a potential sale to a competitor. Semafor reports the airline has engaged advisers to evaluate merger viability with United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, or Southwest Airlines.
JetBlue’s stock price climbed over 14% during the trading day. Discussions remain in the preliminary stages with no certainty of a final deal.
This development follows a previous attempt to merge with Spirit Airlines that regulators blocked.
