Breeze to introduce Airbus A220 on 17 routes in Q2
US start-up carrier Breeze Airways will introduce its new Airbus A220-300s on 17 routes beginning in May. The Salt Lake City-based low-cost airline says on 19 January that the new aircraft will offer customers a premium experience that includes first-class seats. The airline is selling the seats in what it calls its “nicest” fare class, from $99. Breeze already sells two fare classes on its Embraer fleet – “nice” and “nicer”, the latter with additional legroom and a free carry-on bag, checked bag and priority boarding.vThe first of the carrier’s new A220s was delivered last month and Breeze anticipates having 15 of the type in service by year-end. They will be used “primarily for longer-haul flights, including transcontinental service,” the airline says. Breeze will launch the aircraft on routes from Tampa, Florida to nine cities on 4 May, and plans to successively fly A220s to more destinations until the end of June. The “nicest” fare also includes two checked bags, a carry-on item and additional frequent flyer points. The airline says that later this year, when its longer routes are introduced, it will also serve “fresh food items”.<br/>
