JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq:JBLU) has been named Best Low Cost/No Frills Airline by OAG, the global travel and transport information company, as part of their 2007 OAG Airline of the Year Awards.

NEW YORK --  This marks the second year running that JetBlue has been named top airline in this category. The New York-based low-fare, low-cost carrier was among 42 airlines and airports that received nominations in 15 regional and global categories during the 25th Anniversary ceremony this week in London.

"On behalf of JetBlue\'s 12,000 crewmembers, I am pleased and honored that frequent fliers from around the world have recognized JetBlue with this highly coveted award," said JetBlue Founder and CEO, David Neeleman. "This mark of distinction truly goes to all of our crewmembers who bring humanity back to air travel one customer at a time, while still offering low fares and more frills, including the most legroom in coach."
