Investing.com -- JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU) CEO Joanna Geraghty clarified on Monday that the airline’s recent partnership with United Airlines is not a stepping stone towards a merger. The two companies had announced a collaboration last week, which is designed to benefit travelers.

The collaboration allows travelers to book flights on both JetBlue and United Airlines’ websites. Additionally, customers can earn and use points interchangeably in both airlines’ frequent flyer programs. This move aims to increase flexibility and convenience for customers who frequently fly with either or both airlines.

Geraghty mentioned that JetBlue has been in close contact with the Department of Justice over the last five years and that the company is playing it safe. The statement seems to underline JetBlue’s commitment to maintaining its independence while still exploring collaborative opportunities that can benefit its customers.
