admin Nearly 20 years later, the New York-based company, the first JetBlue Airways flight has registered an application with the Department of Transportation to launch a new airline, as per US media.
Flights for the new carrier – named Breeze Airways – could take off by the end of the year, JetBlue founder David Neeleman said.
Breeze aims to become “the world’s nicest airline” and will focus on mid-sized US cities “abandoned by our current air transportation network,” JetBlue stated in its application, which was filed on Friday, as stated by several channels.
The leisure-focused, low-cost airline would begin with Embraer 195 planes sublet from Brazil’s Azul, another of Neeleman’s companies.
Airbus A220s are arranged to start arriving in April 2021 for use.
The US air transport sector is highly focused. Delta Airlines, United Airlines, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines will control three quarters of the domestic market.
“We’re going to fly where no one else is flying,” said Neeleman, also he was considering about 500 city pairs, letting travellers to bypass connection hubs.
Breeze Airways must first get its air carrier certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the US regulator.
