The news comes on the heels of Breeze’s January announcement celebrating its first full quarter of operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2024. The airline announced it achieved an operating margin of more than 4% in the fourth quarter thanks to strong demand for its business model, which brings direct air service to unserved and underserved secondary airports on its flagship fleet of Airbus A220 aircraft. The airline estimates there are hundreds of additional routes in the US. alone that could benefit from its service, leaving ample room for its continued growth.
