Diversity & Inclusion at JetBlue

Here at JetBlue, diversity goes beyond ethnicity, race and geography. Integrity is one of our values, after all, and we celebrate all our differences, whether they relate to our backgrounds, ages and abilities, our approaches or our gender identities. Every day we live our mission to inspire humanity as a leader in inclusion. JetBlue is a proud, equal opportunity employer—not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because we think it’s more fun that way, too.

JetBlue Equals represents our diversity and inclusion efforts as an organization. We believe that the unique and shared identities, experiences, and thoughts of our Crewmembers, Customers, and communities are a tremendous asset that can help grow and strengthen our business.

Our Areas of Focus

Foster a diverse talent pipeline

Promote cultural competency

Cultivate inclusion partnerships

Crewmember Resource Groups

In 2019, JetBlue was named the #1 Best Employer for Diversity in transportation by Forbes magazine, and we’re pretty thrilled that there’s no shortage of ways for crewmembers to celebrate their individuality and get involved.

Our various Crewmember Resource Groups (CRGs) spearhead grassroots efforts across JetBlue to embrace and encourage different perspectives, thoughts, and ideas. CRGs are also a great way for crewmembers to get involved in professional development, recruitment and retention and supporting JetBlue’s business through strategic initiatives or community outreach programs. Any crewmember can participate in any or all of our six CRGs – or propose forming our next group!

Reaching Blue Heights

JetBlue is committed to hiring and growing a talent pipeline of individuals with disabilities to achieve a more inclusive workforce. In 2014, we launched a disability initiative called Reaching Blue Heights. This program encompasses all of our efforts to support and inspire individuals with disabilities in school and in the workforce. Through career fairs, mentoring opportunities and ongoing partnerships with disability service centers, we’re here to let those with disabilities know that the sky’s the limit!
