Breeze Airways used a preview event at the Airbus A220
final assembly line in Mobile, Alabama to unveil its latest
aircraft.
The A220-300, the first of 80 on order, is
expected to be delivered to Breeze in the coming weeks.
Breeze’s A220-300 cabin is configured in a
two-class 126-seat cabin layout comprising 36 business and 90
economy seats fitted with in-seat power and USB ports for all
passengers.
Breeze, which started operations in May 2021, is expected to
use the A220s to provide non-stop flights between underserved
routes across the U.S. - offering
point-to-point flights from smaller secondary airports, bypassing
hubs for shorter travel times.
The first A220 is expected to enter service in Q2 2022.
Powered by Pratt & Whitney’s
latest-generation geared turbofan engines, and a range of up to
3,450 nm (6,390 km), the A220 delivers up to 25% lower fuel burn and CO2
emissions per seat compared to previous generation aircraft, and
50% lower NOx emissions than industry standards.
In addition, the aircraft noise footprint is
reduced by 50% compared to previous generation aircraft.
As of the end of September 2021, over 170 A220s
have been delivered to 12 operators worldwide.
