Breeze Airways, just a few weeks before its third birthday, has added a 50th city to its network, ordered another ten A220 jets and announced a plan to shed the used Embraer jets it used to get started.
The new destination is New Bern, North Carolina, which will get flights connecting it to Hartford, Connecticut and Orlando, Florida, continuing the company's strategic plan of connecting smaller cities with direct flights.
The ten additional A220s will eventually bring the fleet of the planes to 90, with 30 options still available to exercise. In May 2021, when the airline started, its ordered A220s weren't available, and service started with used planes leased from Azul Brazilian Airlines, which shares a founder, David Neeleman, with Breeze. The Embraers will be gone by year's end.
