All the ratios are showing negative changes as compared with previous year. so, its better not to invest in Jet Blue airways.

The only positive change or increase in Net profit and Earnings per share is due to income tax benefit in the year 2017 and not by operating revenues.

Cash flows from Operating Activities are also declined from $1632 to $1398. It is also showing a decline in operations of Jet Blue Airways.

Answer :- NO
