International RoutesBreeze Airways, identified by the ICAO code MXY and IATA code MX, is a North American scheduled low-cost airline that began operations in May 2021. Founded in 2018 by airline entrepreneur David Neeleman, who also founded JetBlue and Azul, Breeze Airways was designed as a technologically advanced company focusing on providing simple and economical travel. The airline is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, with its main operational base at Salt Lake City International Airport. Additionally, Charleston International, Tampa International, and New Orleans Louis Armstrong International serve as main bases and hubs.
Breeze Airways operates a fleet of approximately 60 aircraft, including Airbus A220-300, Embraer 190, and Embraer 195 models. The airline's route network currently focuses on domestic point-to-point services, primarily connecting secondary airports across the United States. While currently focused on domestic flights, Breeze Airways has received US Department of Transportation (DOT) approval for near-international service and plans to launch international routes in early 2026. As a low-cost carrier, Breeze Airways is not a member of any major airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld.
The airline's service model emphasizes affordability, with passengers having options for web check-in. While the core airfare is designed to be economical, the airline employs an "a la carte" pricing structure, where extras such as inflight drinks and snacks are charged separately.
Traveler experiences with Breeze Airways highlight a mixed sentiment, often revolving around its low-cost model.
What Travelers Love:
Common Complaints:
Overall, traveler sentiment suggests that Breeze Airways is a viable option for budget-conscious passengers who prioritize low fares and are willing to pay for amenities individually. While the basic service is generally satisfactory, the additional costs for "extras" and the limited entertainment options are recurring points of feedback.
Breeze Airways maintains a safety record consistent with a newly established US-based carrier operating under strict federal regulations. The airline received its air carrier operating certificate from the US FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) on May 14, 2021, authorizing it to engage in interstate scheduled air transportation. This certification indicates compliance with the rigorous safety standards set forth by the FAA for commercial airline operations in the United States.
While there is no information available regarding specific major incidents, the airline's operations are overseen by internal safety committees. For instance, the ALPA Breeze Safety Committee actively works to inform pilots about hazards unique to their operations, collaborating with the ALPA Air Safety Organization, which is the world's largest non-governmental aviation safety organization.
Given that Breeze Airways commenced operations in 2021 with a relatively young fleet, including modern Airbus A220-300 aircraft, the fleet age is considered new. There is no specific information detailing its maintenance reputation beyond the implicit adherence to FAA maintenance standards required for its operating certificate. The available data does not indicate any presence on the EU safety list (which typically highlights banned airlines) nor specific IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) certifications. Based on its FAA certification and internal safety protocols, Breeze Airways appears to operate with a commitment to maintaining established safety standards. No specific safety awards or recognitions were found in the available information.
