Lufthansa already owns 19% stake in JetBlue since late 2007. When acquired such participation, the German company already planned to deepen its collaboration with the U.S. low-cost on the operational area but was very careful not to reveal more.
An agreement to codeshare with Lufthansa would strengthen its position in the coveted airport in New York JFK, or even into a hub. Jet Blue is based in fact. It is even more important to the company's domestic platform, in consequence of which it holds a significant amount of its valuable slots.
The low cost would also have to take advantage of this new rapprochement: it could attract more passengers on its transatlantic partners, including AerLingus part. [ Lufthansa and JetBlue would share their code ]
