MATURITY DATE

JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("OWNER"),
hereby promises to pay to Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual
capacity but soley as pass through trustee under that certain Pass Through Trust
Agreement (Spare Parts) dated as of the date hereof in respect of the JetBlue
Airways (Spare Parts) G-1 Pass Through Trust, or the registered assignee
thereof, the principal sum of $74,198,000 (the "ORIGINAL AMOUNT"), together with
interest on the amount of the Original Amount remaining unpaid from time to time
from the date hereof until paid in full at a rate per annum for each Interest
Period equal to the Debt Rate applicable for this Series for such Interest
Period (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed
during the period for which such amount accrues). The Original Amount of this
Equipment Note shall be paid in full on January 2, 2014 (the "MATURITY DATE").
Accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in quarterly installments
commencing on January 2nd, 2007 and thereafter on April 2nd, July 2nd, October
2nd and January 2nd, of each year, to and including the Maturity Date. Interest
shall be payable with respect to the first but not the last day of each Interest
Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made on this Equipment
Note shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full the unpaid Original
Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other amounts due under,
this Equipment Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if any date on which a payment under this Equipment Note becomes due and payable
is not a Business Day, then such payment shall not be made on such scheduled
date but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension
of time shall be included in the computation of interest payable.
For purposes hereof, the term "Trust Indenture" means the Trust
Indenture and Mortgage, dated as of November 14, 2006, between the Owner and
Wilmington Trust Company (the "MORTGAGEE"), as the same may be amended or
supplemented from time to time. All other capitalized terms used in this
Equipment Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
assigned in the Trust Indenture.
This Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the
Payment Due Rate applicable for this Series (calculated on the basis of a year
of 360 days and actual days elapsed during the period for which such amount
accrues) on any overdue payment of all or a portion of the Original Amount and
(to the extent permitted by applicable Law) any overdue interest and any other
amounts payable hereunder which are overdue, in each case for the period the
same is overdue. Amounts shall be overdue if not paid when due (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).
This Equipment Note is subject to redemption as provided herein in
Section 2.11 and Section 2.12 of the Trust Indenture but not otherwise. In
addition, this Equipment Note may be accelerated as provided in Section 5.02 of
the Trust Indenture, and the holder by acceptance of this Note agrees to be
bound by said provisions.
There shall be maintained an Equipment Note Register for the purpose
of registering transfers and exchanges of Equipment Notes of each Series at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Mortgagee or at the office of any successor in the
manner provided in Section 2.07 of the Trust Indenture.
The Original Amount and interest and other amounts due hereunder
shall be payable in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Mortgagee, or as otherwise provided in the Trust Indenture.
Each such payment shall be made on the date such payment is due and without any
presentment or surrender of this Equipment Note, except that in the case of any
final payment with respect to this Equipment Note, the Equipment Note shall be
surrendered promptly thereafter to the Mortgagee for cancellation. The Mortgagee
shall remit such amounts received by it to the holder hereof as set forth in the
Trust Indenture.
The holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Equipment Note, agrees
to the provisions of the Trust Indenture, the Collateral Maintenance Agreement
and the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, those provisions
pertaining to the issuance of Additional Equipment Notes ratably secured by the
Collateral and which may be of the same Series ranking on parity with this
Equipment Note). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the holder
hereof agrees that, except as provided in the Trust Indenture, each payment of
all or a portion of the Original Amount, interest, Break Amount, if any, and
Premium, if any, received by it hereunder shall be applied, first, to the
payment of Break Amount, if any, with respect to this Equipment Note, second, to
the payment of accrued interest on this Equipment Note (as well as any interest
on any overdue payment of all or a portion of the Original Amount, any overdue
Break Amount and Premium, if any, or, to the extent permitted by Law, any
overdue interest and other amounts hereunder) to the date of such payment,
third, to the payment of all or the portion of the Original Amount of this
Equipment Note then due, fourth, to the payment of Premium, if any, and any
other amount due hereunder or under the Trust Indenture, and fifth, the balance,
if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of the Original Amount of this
Equipment Note remaining unpaid.
This Equipment Note is one of the Equipment Notes referred to in the
Trust Indenture which have been or are to be issued by the Owner pursuant to the
terms of the Trust Indenture. The Collateral is held by the Mortgagee as
security, in part, for the Equipment Notes
of all Series issued under the Trust Indenture. The provisions of this Equipment
Note are subject to the Trust Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the Trust
Indenture for a complete statement of the rights and obligations of the holder
of, and the nature and extent of the security for, this Equipment Note and the
rights and obligations of the holders of, and the nature and extent of the
security for, any other Equipment Notes executed and delivered under the Trust
Indenture, as well as for a statement of the terms and conditions of the Trust
created by the Trust Indenture, to all of which terms and conditions in the
Trust Indenture each holder hereof agrees by its acceptance of this Equipment
Note.
As provided in the Trust Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Equipment Note is exchangeable for a like
aggregate Original Amount of Equipment Notes of the same Series of different
authorized denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Equipment Note, the Owner and the Mortgagee shall treat the person in whose name
this Equipment Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether
or not this Equipment Note be overdue, and neither the Owner nor the Mortgagee

In no event shall the Debt Rate (including any other relevant
amount) hereon at any time exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under
applicable law.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
or on behalf of the Mortgagee by manual signature, this Equipment Note shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Trust Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose.
