(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 statements 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
(3) We have an approximately 9% 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
The realized and unrealized gain (loss) on equity investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows (in millions):
