Breeze Airways has reached a purchase agreement with
Airbus for 20 more A220-300 jets, bringing the airline’s total order book to 80 A220-300s.
Deliveries are scheduled to commence in Q4 2021,
with Airbus’ facility in Mobile, Alabama set to deliver
approximately one A220 per month to Breeze over the next
six-and-a-half years.
Breeze started airline operations in May 2021, and
the A220 will be the first brand new aircraft to be operated by
the airline.
The A220 is purpose-built for
the 100-150 seat market and brings together state-of-the-art
aerodynamics, advanced materials and Pratt & Whitney’s
latest-generation PW1500G geared turbofan engines.
The A220 is the quietest, cleanest
and most eco-friendly aircraft in its category, featuring a 50%
reduced noise footprint and up to 25% lower fuel burn per seat
compared to previous generation aircraft, as well as around 50%
lower NOx emissions than industry standards.
Over 170 A220s have been delivered to ten
operators in Asia, North Americas, Europe, and Africa, proving the
great versatility of Airbus’ latest family member.
