Breeze applies for certificate transfer, presents business plans
A new U.S. airline from serial aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman will require flight attendants to enrol into a full-time online university course and live in shared accommodation provided by the company according to a job ad recently posted by the airline. Breeze Airways is set to launch next year and will be based in Salt Lake City where Neeleman hopes to tap into a market of previously overlooked smaller city pairs that have been ignored by the big players.
Breeze will be Neeleman’s fifth airline startup after launching well-known brands like jetBlue more than 20 years ago, as well as Canada’s WestJet and Brazilian airline Azul. Neeleman, who is originally from Brazil but was brought up as a Mormon in Salt Lake City, has also attempted to turn around Portugal’s loss-making TAP Air.
The COVID-19 pandemic might make it a particularly tough time to launch a brand new airline but Neeleman believes there’s space for another low-cost airline with routes likely to first concentrate out of its Salt Lake City hub. “There are literally hundreds and hundreds of city pairs that are crying out for non-stop flights,” Neeleman said earlier this year, while promising Breeze would be the “world’s nicest airline”.

Notably, the association’s council is not so happy about the measures. It shared the following in a statement:
“From a Union’s perspective, that’s age discrimination plain and simple. This concept must be viewed for what it is – a direct assault on our profession and careers. No one should be required to do these things, especially when only compensated $1,200 per month for 15 days of work (or $80 per work day). To say it is insulting and an affront to our profession is a gross understatement.”
