JetBlue expects strong demand and yields to continue in the fourth quarter, supported by rapid growth in Fort Lauderdale, where it is scheduled to operate 64% more flights than a year earlier.

United Nigeria Airlines plans to raise N20 billion (about US$12.8 million) by issuing short-term debt to investors, marking what it says will be the first commercial paper issue by a Nigerian domestic airline. The funds will be raised in two tranches, due for repayment after 270 and 364 days.

The airline says it operates 10 aircraft and plans to add six more by year-end. The fundraising could support its operations and expansion, but it also adds a debt repayment obligation. No immediate changes to passenger fares or services have been announced.
