Investors have been jittery about the strength of domestic travel demand, as recent fare data shows ticket prices have peaked.
Like leisure carrier Alaska Air (ALK.N), JetBlue said soaring demand for long-haul international trips has led to a drop in domestic travel.
While JetBlue expects the trend to improve in the fourth quarter, around the winter holidays, it is still estimated to hurt the company's full-year earnings.
JetBlue now expects full-year adjusted profit of 5 cents to 40 cents per share, compared with its previous forecast of 70 cents to $1 per share.
Profit for the second quarter came in at 45 cents per share, compared with analysts' average estimate of 44 cents per share, according to Refinitiv data.
