![]() Yes, I would say on over 90% of our routes, we have no nonstop competition. Is competition – or the absence of competition – the primary driver when you are choosing new routes? You are mainly flying routes in places where there is no competition, at least from other carriers, perhaps there is from other modes of transport. They’re very young, you don’t want to return a plane after flying for five years, because of the cost of an engine overhaul. So, we’re working with GE to see if we can’t keep that fleet flying because the planes are still young. Maybe five years from now we can have that many airplanes.Ī lot of the Embraers staying flying have a lot to do with GE, because the thing that is obsolete with those airplanes is the overall cost. Yeah, I think so, I think this would probably make some sense. So, looking ahead, let’s say two, three, four years from now, how big is Breeze going to be in terms of fleet? Are we talking about 130 aircraft or something like that? It’s a little more complicated, but it gives us a lot more reach. We do hundreds of charters every month, so we use the E190s on those, plus we do have a lot of routes that we’ve just flights Thursdays and Fridays and Sundays and Mondays, so all those routes work for the Embraer. The 220s are, obviously, cheaper to operate, but a bit more capital expensive. They’ll stay in the fleet they’ve got different missions. Are they staying in the fleet? And how long will they remain? So, what will happen with the Embraers? My understanding is that they were a kind of stopgap solution until you could get the A220s. And we’re currently operating 19 Embraer E190s and 195s.Īt 80 A220s plus another 40 options, we would be looking at the fleet of 120 A220s. We have an additional 40 options for those airplanes. As of the end of this month, we’ll have, I think, 31 airplanes So, it’s growing every single month, it’s really hard to keep track of it.Įvery time we add an airplane, we add more routes. How many passengers are you carrying at the moment?Ī lot! Today I am not sure, but we’ve got well over a million customers. Right now, you are flying 143 routes all over the United States, which is quite an impressive number for a new airline. In May 2023, it will be two years since the first flight, so I think it’s the right time to touch base and ask you a few things about this very exciting project that you are leading.
