They probably have discount rates to Epstein Island and Mother Russia. They just beat Frontier in the race to the bottom.

When I say that I don't mean naming types of airplanes. I mean giving the airplanes names. A lot of airlines do it. Back in the day you had your Clipper This, Flagship That, Star of the Whatsit, so on. Lots of airlines name theirs after places. Aer Lingus names theirs after Irish saints. SAS names their Vikings. FedEx Express gives theirs human names, like Gabriel, Richard, JobEdokat, and Meredith.

The year is 2023 at time of writing. Clipper This, Flagship That, and Star of the Whatsit are now all relics of a distant past where a plane ticket cost more than some cars and airports sold life insurance at kiosks. That age is long past. Delta, United, American...all cowards, their airplanes long unnamed. Though the practice is alive and well elsewhere, for some reason it has largely gone dormant in the United States. There are few exceptions, but there are exceptions, and there is one in particular which stands out from the rest. Just one carrier on a mission and their 289 individually named flying machines.

I would like to present you with a curated selection of things which jetBlue has named their airplanes. There are many more - 289, to be specific. Take a look through them all if you care to. But this is a list of my favorites. Just a bit of appreciation for a true titan of aircraft-naming in an era where the art seems all but lost.

Embraer 190 jetBlue Airways

This aircraft has its own special story. Joining the JetBlue fleet in 2009, it was originally named "Midnight Blue" and wore the "Windowpane" tail design. But its fate changed in 2017 when it became the canvas for one of the airline's most memorable liveries.

The "Blueprint" livery was introduced by JetBlue in February 2017 and became the first special livery for the airline's Embraer 190. The design mimicked a technical cutaway drawing of the aircraft, showing its internal structure – from passenger seats to control yokes in the flight deck. The livery even depicted nearly 50 items in overhead bins and cargo compartments, such as teddy bears, piñatas, and surfboards – inspired by real travel stories shared by JetBlue crew members and customers, making it a true treasure hunt for attentive observers.

The livery design was created by JetBlue's in-house design team under the leadership of then-Vice President of Marketing Jamie Perry. Despite using only three of JetBlue's signature colors, Blueprint became one of the airline's most complex special liveries – its application took nearly two weeks. This level of detail and technical elegance turned Blueprint into a cult symbol among aviation enthusiasts.

JetBlue completed the retirement of its entire E190 fleet in September 2025, replacing the Embraer with the A220 model and fully transitioning to an all-Airbus fleet. The aircraft in Blueprint livery no longer graces the skies, making our poster not just a beautiful print, but a document of aviation history – a reminder of an aircraft that helped JetBlue expand into new regions and connect critically important routes, especially from New York and Boston.
