Moxy Airways (Salt Lake City) is planning to take delivery of its first A220-300 in April 2021 ahead of the launch of operations in May of that year, founder David Neeleman told journalists during an event in Washington, DC.

The US start-up firmed an order for sixty Airbus narrowbodies in December 2018. In mid-June 2019, the carrier signed a Letter of Intent with GECAS covering the sales/leaseback of the first nine A220s deliveries which are scheduled for 2021 and 2022.

Moxy Airways plans to deploy the A220s on thinner point-to-point markets in the US and internationally where no direct services exist at present. Neeleman underlined that the type provides the start-up with a lot of flexibility regarding the routes it will be able to serve.

Neeleman previously said that Moxy Airways is a project name that will change prior to the airline's actual launch, however, he now claimed that he "thought it was a good name".

According to the ch-aviation Commercial Aviation Aircraft Data module, GECAS currently does not have any A220s in its portfolio at present, nor has it publicised any orders from Airbus Canada (ABK, Montréal Mirabel).
