Mullin's model framework for JetBlue
Market attractiveness
Market attractiveness is studied here from a macro (global) viewpoint The company need
to consider the market as a whole; the number of regular customers, the amount of money being
made, and annual sales. Next consideration is given to market tendencies: has there been
expansion during the recent years? If ±at’s the case, how sustainable is this expansion? Making
sure the market is big enough to support the expansion being sought is the first step toward
growing the business successfully [ CITATION Sha23 1 1033 ]. Because of the high average
fares in large metropolitan regions and underserved markets, JetBlue initially focused on serving
those areas. JetBlue has found it difficult to keep its appeal to customers in the face of
intensifying competition. Costs were reduced byr adding more seats to JetBlue’s A320 aircraft,
but the airline's appeal to passengers and the quality of the flying experience suffered as a result.
Market segment benefits and attractiveness
In all likelihood, not all consumers will find what they're looking for in JetBlue’s new
business. Focusing on satisfying the wants of a certain subset of the market increases the
likelihood of a product's commercial success (Shaiq, 2023). This subset of the market can be
found by doing a detailed analysis of market niches. JetBlue’s objective was to "bring humanity
back to air travel' by offering superior service to passengers flying between specific cities.
Because of this companyr’s emphasis on its clients' satisfaction, it has been able to attract a niche
of the market prepared to pay more for superior service. JetBlue has had a hard time keeping this
demographic interested due to the declining quality of the flying experience.
