Breeze Airways

Breeze Airways is an American low-cost airline, founded by aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman (also known for founding JetBlue, WestJet, and Azul Brazilian Airlines), that commenced operations in May 2021. Positioned as a “Nice Low-Cost Carrier” (NLCC), Breeze differentiates itself by focusing on underserved, point-to-point routes between smaller cities, often bypassing major hubs, to offer convenient and affordable direct flights. The airline operates a modern fleet primarily composed of fuel-efficient Airbus A220-300 aircraft, which feature comfortable seating options, including premium “Breeze Ascent” seats with extra legroom and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi on many flights, a notable offering for a budget carrier. Breeze’s business model relies on a la carte pricing for “extras” like baggage and seat selection, but it also offers bundled “Nice,” “Nicer,” and “Nicest” fares to provide flexibility and value, aiming to make air travel “seriously nice” and accessible for leisure and business travelers alike.
