Embry-Riddle, JetBlue Airways Sign Educational Collaboration Agreement

Daytona Beach, Fla., June 16, 2005 -- Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and JetBlue Airways have signed an educational collaboration agreement that encourages cooperation between the two organizations, including training programs for JetBlue crewmembers.

The agreement was signed June 6 in Orlando following the dedication of JetBlue University Training Center at Orlando International Airport.

JetBlue's new training center includes 107,000 square feet of classroom, office, and flight simulator space. The center is the latest indication of the airline's dramatic expansion. JetBlue hires six new employees each day and adds a new airplane every 10 days. The airline is incorporating an aggressive education and training program to keep pace with the growth. Under the agreement with Embry-Riddle, the university will provide a Train-the-Trainer program for JetBlue's A320 and E190 simulator trainers. JetBlue will provide cooperative internships for Embry-Riddle students.

"We are very pleased to affiliate with JetBlue. Our long history associated with aviation combined with the dynamic, state-of-the-art JetBlue organization is an exciting partnership," said David Hosley, dean of Embry-Riddle's School of Corporate Training and Professional Development. "We are jointly committed to providing the best possible aviation experience for the customer as we revitalize aviation travel after 9/11 and into the future."

Embry-Riddle, the world's largest, fully accredited university specializing in aviation and aerospace, offers more than 30 degree programs in its colleges of Arts and Sciences, Aviation, Business, and Engineering and meets the needs of students and industry through its educational, training, research, and consulting activities. Embry-Riddle educates more than 30,000 students annually in undergraduate and graduate programs at residential campuses in Prescott, Ariz., and Daytona Beach, Fla., through the Extended Campus at more than 130 centers in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East, and worldwide through distance learning.
