Neeleman: First Moxy A220s to come from GECAS in 2021
Planned US startup Moxy will have “lots of flexibility” with the Airbus A220-300 that would allow the airline to go international, David Neeleman says. Moxy is the latest in a string of start-ups founded by Neeleman that include JetBlue Airways and Azul. In January, Moxy firmed an MOU with Airbus for 60 A220-300s, the narrowbody designed and built by Bombardier as the CS300 until Airbus bought the program. Moxy had just signed a purchase-and-leaseback LOI with lessor GECAS for the first 9 of its A220s. Neeleman said GECAS will deliver the first A220 in April 2021, allowing Moxy to start flying from May. Moxy’s primary focus will be US routes where there is no direct competition. With Moxy, Neeleman said, “you can get there twice as fast at half the price. That’s an easy sell.” <br/>
