Breeze Airways orders 10 more Airbus A220-300
Breeze Airways, the US low-cost airline founded by David Neeleman, has placed an additional order for 10 A220-300 jets with Airbus.
With the new agreement, the carrier has a firm order for 90 aircraft, of which 21 are already in service.
“Thanks to its world-class performance capabilities, the A220 is the perfect aircraft to help Breeze achieve its goal to provide nonstop service between underserved routes across the United States,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, EVP Sales, Commercial Aircraft, Airbus.
Breeze was launched in May 2021 with a proposal for affordable tickets and tailored service between small and medium-sized cities in the United States.
The debut took place with second-hand Embraer E-Jets aircraft until in December 2021 the first new A220-300 arrived at the airline.
According to Airbus, Breeze plans to operate only with the A220 until the end of 2024.
Former C Series
With 90 jets, Breeze will have the third largest fleet of A220s in the world, an aircraft originally designed by Bombardier as the C Series. In 2018, Airbus acquired the program and renamed it.
As of January, the series, which also includes the smaller capacity A220-100, had 914 firm orders, of which 316 had already been delivered.
