Issued and Served February 3, 2004

Consent Order | Word

Thus, by failing to state the full price of the fare that a consumer must pay or to comply with the Department’s enforcement case precedent regarding full fare advertising, JetBlue violated 14 CFR 399.84 and engaged in an unfair and deceptive practice in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 41712.  Under 49 U.S.C. § 46301, JetBlue is subject to civil penalties of up to $2,500 for each violation of this regulation and statutory provision and $2,500 for each day each such violation continues. JetBlue consents to the issuance of this order to cease and desist from future violations of 49 U.S.C. § 41712 and 14 CFR 399.84, and to the assessment of  $25,000 in compromise of potential civil penalties.  Of that amount, $12,500 is due and payable within 15 days of the date of service of this order and the remaining $12,500 will be forgiven if JetBlue does not violate this consent order for a period of one year from the date of its entry.
