Convinced that the way people travel is changing fast and seeking to be ahead of this curve, JetBlue Airways wants to be as close as possible to the change-makers. This desire is a big part of the investment strategy pursued by its JetBlue Ventures division, which has backed advanced air mobility start-ups including eVTOL manufacturer Joby and propulsion pioneer Universal Hydrogen.
