Is JetBlue safe or not?

Travelers on JetBlue enjoy a safe as well as low-cost ride, according to AirlineRatings.com. JetBlue was recently named among the 20 safest low-cost airlines for 2023 by AirlineRatings.com, an airline safety and product review website which monitors 385 airlines.



JetBlue is considered an exceptionally safe airline with a strong operational track record. In the 2026 "Safest Airlines in the World" rankings by AirlineRatings, JetBlue consistently maintains a 7-star safety rating, the highest possible score. The airline has never suffered a fatal crash in its 25-plus year history, which is a remarkable achievement for a carrier of its size. Its safety success is attributed to a modern fleet (consisting primarily of Airbus A320/A321 and Embraer aircraft) and a rigorous pilot training program that exceeds FAA minimum requirements. While it has had minor incidents—such as the famous 2005 emergency landing of Flight 292 in Los Angeles due to a landing gear malfunction—the successful outcome of that event actually demonstrated the high level of training and composure of its flight crews. For your travel database, you can confidently list JetBlue as a safe choice for domestic and transatlantic travel, ranking right alongside major legacy carriers like Delta and United in terms of maintenance standards and safety protocols.
