Investments in Debt Securities
Investments in debt securities consist of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities. The carrying amount is recorded within investment securities in the current assets section of our consolidated balance sheets if the remaining maturity is less than twelve months. Maturities greater than twelve months are recorded within investment securities in the other assets section of our consolidated balance sheets.
The aggregate carrying values of our short-term and long-term debt investment securities consisted of the following at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

We use the specific identification method to determine the cost of our available-for-sale securities. Refer to Note 7 for an explanation of the fair value hierarchy structure.
We recorded a gain of $5 million on our available-for-sale securities in gain (loss) on investments, net on our consolidated statement of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. We did not record any material gains or losses on our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

(1) We have the ability to exercise significant influence over these investments and therefore they are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures of the FASB Codification. Our share of our equity method investees' financial results is included in other income on our consolidated statement of operations.
(2) Our wholly owned subsidiary JetBlue Technology Ventures LLC ("JBV") has equity investments in emerging companies which do not have readily determinable fair values. In accordance with Topic 321, Investments - Equity Securities of the FASB Codification, we account for these investments using a measurement alternative which allows entities to measure these investments at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identifiable or similar investments of the same issuer. Refer to the table below for investment gain (loss) activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
(3) We have an approximate 10% ownership interest in the TWA Flight Center Hotel at JFK, which is accounted for under the measurement alternative described above. We did not record any material gains or losses on our TWA Flight Center Hotel during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
(4) As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had an immaterial amount of equity securities recorded within investment securities in the current asset section of our consolidated balance sheets. Our equity securities include investments in common stocks of publicly traded companies which are stated at fair value.
The realized and unrealized gain (loss) on equity investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows (in millions):
