JetBlue: "JetBlue's preliminary passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) for the month of December increased 3% year over year and was primarily impacted by two items. The severe weather in the north-east reduced JetBlue's passenger revenue by approximately USD30 million, which is included in the December PRASM estimate, and reduced operating income for the fourth quarter by about USD25 million," Source: Company statement, 18-Jan-2011.
