LiveTV's In-flight Satellite TV To Debut Over Canada On WestJet

http://www.jetblue.com/learnmore/pressDetail.asp?newsId=184

New York, NY (July 8, 2003) - LiveTV, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JetBlue Airways Corporation, (Nasdaq: JBLU), today announced that it has entered into an agreement with WestJet (WJA.TO) to provide in-flight satellite television on the Canadian low-fare carrier's fleet. This is the first time in-flight satellite TV has ever been available in Canada, following JetBlue's U.S. debut of the system in 2000.

The installation of equipment would begin in 4Q2003 and completed in 1Q2004.

There would be ExpressVu's 300 plus channels(!!), much more than Jetblue's 24 channels.

Unfortunately, the service is only available on B737-700 fleet of WestJet, and not on B737-200, which would service the airline until 2010.

Hope WestJet retire the B737-200 ASAP, so to provide better trip for passengers and reduce costs.
