The final design will be unveiled in March before taking to the skies as JetBlue\u2019s latest flying work of art this summer.\n<\/p>\n

This livery represents more than just a beautiful design\u2014it\u2019s a tribute to the island\u2019s resilience, creativity, and rich culture. We wish we could pick all three, but we\u2019re excited to see which design resonates most with the public and can\u2019t wait to bring it to life.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
