Breeze Airways began operations in 2021 with a fleet that included ten Embraer E190s and three Embraer E195s.
The airline has now taken delivery of 55 of the 90 Airbus A220‑300s it ordered and holds options for an additional 30, a shift supported by U.S. scope clauses that limit regional aircraft to 76 passengers and a maximum take‑off weight of 86,000 pounds, thresholds the E190 exceeds. The A220‑300 provides roughly 40 more seats and lower direct operating costs and fuel burn per seat compared with the E190.
