JetBlue Airways is facing a new lawsuit filed on November 18, 2025, that alleges racial and religious discrimination. The plaintiffs, three Orthodox Jewish passengers, claim they were wrongfully removed from a flight after requesting a seat change in accordance with their religious beliefs, which prohibit a man from sitting next to a woman who is not his wife or a blood relative. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, asserts that after another passenger agreed to switch seats, a flight attendant denied the request and subsequently had the passengers removed from the flight. The plaintiffs allege the removal was based on their Orthodox Jewish attire and identity, and are seeking compensatory and punitive damages. There was no widespread coverage of this event in major financial news outlets on this date, and therefore no significant market reaction or analysis is available. The company has not yet issued a public statement regarding the litigation.
