JetBlue Airways shares rose 12% during Tuesday morning trade after the carrier reported $2.2B in liquidity to calm investor concerns. The rebound follows a wider-than-expected quarterly loss driven by surging fuel costs and operational headwinds. JetBlue remains the worst-performing carrier in the United States, with its market valuation dropping to $894.2M after losing 48% of its value this year.
