JetBlue Airways Corp. JBLU-1.97% is burning through $10 million a day as it grapples with the coronavirus pandemic, company Chief Executive Robin Hayes said in a note to employees Friday. The airline is losing money because only 7,000 customers are "likely to fly us each day in April and possibly May, compared to the 120,000 we would typically expect," Hayes wrote. On a typical day in April last year, JetBlue took in about $22 million from bookings and ancillary fees. Today, it's hauling in only $1 million per day, while $2 million per day is being issued in cash refunds.
