BACKGROUND
JetBlue Airways is a major American low-fare airline, and the sixth largest in the United States by passengers carried. JetBlue is headquartered in the Long Island City neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens. Founded in 2000, JetBlue started out as a domestic carrier and has since grown to become a major player in the aviation space throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe. JetBlue plans to begin service to Europe in 2021.

THE RESULT
JetBlue received the following benefits from their video wall solution:
