Breeze Airways is accelerating its fleet expansion with plans to operate up to 400 aircraft, anchored by the Airbus A220. Founder David Neeleman outlined the strategy during a Bloomberg Talks interview on October 2, confirming the airline’s continued focus on underserved U.S. routes and potential international services by 2026.

A220 at the Core of Breeze’s Growth Plan

The low-cost airline currently operates 56 aircraft: 8 Embraer E190s and 48 A220-300s. Six of the A220 airplanes are temporarily out of service due to engine-related issues, part of broader industry challenges with Pratt & Whitney engines.

Breeze has 90 additional A220s on confirmed order and options for up to 120 more, setting the foundation for its ongoing A220 fleet growth. Neeleman said the planned A220-500 variant could be crucial in achieving the 4000 aircraft goal, depending on Airbus’ production and profitability forecast.

Underserved Markets and a Streamlined Model

Roughly 70% of Breeze Airways’ routes currently face no direct competition, underscoring its strategy of connecting smaller U.S. cities often ignored by larger carriers. Neeleman ruled out introducing aircraft such as the A320neo, saying it would add unnecessary complexity to operations.

The Airbus A220s fuel efficiency and passenger comfort will underpin Breeze’s offering, enabling the airline to deliver a low-cost model with a more refined travel experience.
