Which JetBlue bonds are most affected?
Short-duration bonds and near-term maturities are likely hit hardest due to immediate refinancing risk, as a cash crunch would first threaten obligations coming due soon.
Could this lead to a default?
While not imminent, the market is pricing in a higher probability of distress. The investor call will provide clarity on whether the airline can manage its obligations without restructuring.
