US's Breeze Airways eyes South American growth

Breeze Airways (MX, Salt Lake City) sees potential to serve Brazil from its bases in Florida using its forthcoming A220-300s, founder David Neeleman said during the World Aviation Festival in London.

"There's just a lot of capitalism in Brazil if we can get that range up to where we think we can. We can serve 10 or 12 cities in Brazil from Florida, which would be incredible," he said.

He added that the carrier would also contemplate other unspecified destinations in South America, as well as services to Hawaii. However, Breeze Airways is unlikely to enter the transatlantic market which Neeleman considers too seasonal and competitive.

Breeze does not have any bases in Florida at this moment. The ch-aviation PRO airlines module shows that it bases its crews out of Salt Lake City and Norfolk Int'l, VA.

Currently, the carrier focuses on domestic operations within the mainland US with its fleet of ten E190s and three E195s. The bulk of its flights is up to 2.5 hours...
