JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU) Corp. has announced plans to introduce a first-class section to its domestic aircraft fleet, commencing in 2026.

This development is part of a broader rebuilding strategy following unsuccessful attempts to merge with two other airlines, which were blocked by US courts.

The airline's existing planes that lack the Mint premium product will be retrofitted to include a first-class cabin.

According to the company's statement on Wednesday, the Airbus A320-family aircraft will be configured with three rows of first-class seating, while the smaller Airbus A220s will feature two first-class rows.

The new first-class sections will offer passengers a two-by-two seating arrangement at the front of the aircraft. JetBlue has indicated that additional information about the first-class service offerings will be disclosed at a later date.

The decision to upgrade the fleet with first-class cabins is a response to growing consumer demand for premium travel options. JetBlue emphasized that the interest in higher-end travel experiences is "stronger than ever."
