The rules provide detailed definitions for what constitutes a qualifying announcement, a bankruptcy filing, and an eligible entity. Specific exclusions are spelled out clearly, noting that out-of-court restructurings, exploratory statements, debt defaults, and leaks citing unnamed sources do not trigger a positive outcome. The resolution deadline specifies the year 2026, which clarifies the missing year in the title. While the resolution decider may rely on a consensus of credible reporting to confirm events, the strict definitions for what statements and corporate filings qualify keep subjective judgment to a minimum.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the named airline announces that it will file for bankruptcy or has filed for bankruptcy of any variety by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. An announcement will suffice for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of if or when the actual filing occurs. The announcement must be made through any of their official or verified channels, as a recorded or written statement by their CEO, legal representation, or other individual or team which officially represents the company. A definitive consensus of credible reporting may also be used. "JetBlue Airways" (or "JetBlue") refers to JetBlue Airways Corporation (Nasdaq: JBLU), the parent company of the JetBlue group, or any other entity that is controlled by, or is under common control with, JetBlue Airways Corporation and that holds, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of JetBlue's business and assets at the time of the filing or announcement. Unless named above, foreign entities, financing entities, special purpose vehicles, and entities used to separate specific legal liabilities will not qualify, even if they meet that test. A filing for bankruptcy means a petition by an entity this market refers to (each, a "covered entity") under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or a bankruptcy case for a covered entity filed in a court outside the United States under that country's bankruptcy or insolvency law, including a court-appointed administration. A petition filed against a covered entity by its creditors will qualify only if the court enters an order for relief on that petition by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. An announcement must state that a covered entity has decided to file for bankruptcy, or has filed for bankruptcy. Statements that the company is considering, exploring, or open to bankruptcy, or that bankruptcy is one of several options, will not qualify. A definitive consensus of credible reporting may be used to confirm that a qualifying announcement or filing occurred. Reports citing unnamed sources that a covered entity plans or is preparing to file will not qualify on their own. Once a qualifying filing or announcement occurs, this market will resolve to "Yes" even if the petition is later withdrawn, dismissed, or converted, or the company later reverses its decision. The following will not qualify on their own: a missed payment or other default on debt; a breach of a loan covenant; foreclosure or other enforcement action by creditors; a credit rating downgrade; a debt exchange or other restructuring agreed outside of court; the appointment of a receiver; and an assignment for the benefit of creditors. If a covered entity stops existing because of a merger or similar transaction, it will no longer be a covered entity. If, after the merger, no covered entity remains, this market will resolve to "No". If the transaction only changes a covered entity's name, state of incorporation, or legal form, or places a new holding company over the same business, the resulting entity will be treated as that covered entity. A filing occurs at the time recorded by the court. An announcement occurs at the time it is first published by a covered entity or its representative.
Rules history

Market explained
This market measures whether JetBlue Airways Corporation (or a qualified successor) announces or files for bankruptcy by December 31, 2026. A notable aspect is that an official announcement alone suffices for resolution, even if a formal bankruptcy filing never occurs or is later withdrawn.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if JetBlue Airways Corporation or a qualifying covered entity officially announces it has filed or decided to file for bankruptcy, or actually files a Chapter 7, Chapter 11, or foreign insolvency petition by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Involuntary creditor petitions qualify only if an order for relief is entered by the deadline. Statements exploring bankruptcy, credit downgrades, out-of-court restructurings, or reports citing unnamed sources do not qualify. The market resolves to No if no qualifying announcement or filing takes place by the deadline, or if JetBlue ceases to exist via a merger leaving no covered entity. Resolution is determined via official company channels, statements from legal representatives or executive officers, or a definitive consensus of credible reporting.
