JetBlue Airways said it is seeing strong demand across all geographies, particularly for close-in travel and routes previously operated by Spirit following the budget airline's shutdown.

For the second quarter, the airline narrowed its guidance for available seat miles growth to 2% to 4%, compared with its previous forecast of 1.5% to 4.5%.

It raised its outlook for revenue per available seat mile growth to 9% to 12%, up from its previous forecast of 7% to 11%.

It now expects to record fuel price per gallon of $4.26 to $4.36, up from its previous guidance of $4.13 to $4.28.

The company said it now expects to recapture at least 40% of increased fuel costs in the quarter.

"Demand for travel in the second quarter has remained strong and consistent with trends observed earlier in the year," JetBlue said.
