The US startup Breeze Airways, behind which David Neeleman is, plans to operate both Airbus A220-300 and Embraer E190 / 195 aircraft. During an online conference, company founder Neeleman stated that this dual strategy is being used.
Initially, regional jets from the Brazilian manufacturer will be used, as the first A220-300s are not due to be delivered until October 2021. Breeze Airways has ordered a total of 60 units. The manager has not yet announced any destinations, but said that the first flight should take place in the summer of 2021. You are on the "home straight" with regard to the approval process.
The startup organized a total of 74 Embraer regional jets. Depending on the route profile, you want to use E190, E195 and later also A220-300. The latter type is primarily intended to be used on longer routes. Neeleman also explicitly said that the Airbus A220-300 will be operated on the long haul. He pointed out that the cost is lower than that of the Airbus A321LR. In this context, discussions are ongoing with the manufacturer about the installation of additional tanks in order to be able to further increase the range of this machine type. Among other things, it is planned that the A220 will fly to Europe and South America. However, exact goals were not given.
