Event: Fitch Ratings affirmed its 'CCC' debt rating, with a '6' recovery rating, on JetBlue Airways Corp.'s $425 million senior unsecured convertible notes. The rating outlook is stable. Fitch said that rating reflects the company's highly levered capital structure and weak free cash flow generation capacity, balanced against its competitive cost structure, improving operating profile and fleet plan flexibility in an industry that remains highly vulnerable to over-capacity, demand shocks and very high energy costs.
