About Breeze Airways
Breeze Airways is a new airline that is focused on providing low-cost flights to underserved markets. The airline was founded by David Neeleman, who has previously founded several successful airlines, including JetBlue and Azul.

This will allow the airline to operate more efficiently and offer lower fares. The airline is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.
