New York CityDave Barger met Tuesday with Gov. Charlie Crist, who said the state may be able to offer financial incentives to help persuade JetBlue to make the move.
It would bring about 800 jobs to Orlando, where the company already has a training facility.
Barger said JetBlue had been looking at several cities but narrowed the choice to Orlando or staying in New York. He said the company expects to make a decision by the end of March.
