Page 1 of 7 BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. __________________________________________ ) Application of ) ) Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. ) Docket DOT-OST-2020-0019 ) for a certificate of public convenience and ) Necessity under 49 U.S.C. 41102 to engage ) In interstate scheduled air transportation ) __________________________________________) SUPPLEMENT TOAPPLICATION OF BREEZE AVIATION GROUP, INC. Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. (“Breeze”) submits this supplement to its application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity authorizing Breeze to engage in interstate scheduled air transportation of persons, property and mail pursuant to § 41102 of Title 49 of the United States Code. The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the aviation industry like no prior crisis. The dynamic circumstances have caused Breeze to make adjustments to its plans, including pushing out its anticipated commencement date, launching with scheduled service rather than charter services and postponing the delivery of A220 aircraft until August 2021. Despite these headwinds, Breeze’s experienced, capable team remains undeterred. As affirmed in this supplement, Breeze is fit, willing and able to hold and exercise the scheduled passenger authority. DOT-OST-2020-0019 Application of Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. Page 2 of 7 Breeze’s strategy remains bringing low-cost, nonstop services to mid-size markets abandoned by our current air transportation network.1 As major airlines retrench their networks in response to decreased travel demand, Breeze sees even more opportunities to serve smaller cities currently reachable, if at all, only through connections and the corresponding increased travel times. By flying a smaller aircraft with a lower trip cost, there are hundreds and hundreds of city pairs that can support a nonstop flight. Each city Breeze serves will realize significant public interest benefits from the introduction of its low-fare, high-quality service. This filing will update Breeze’s proposed network and schedule, update the Department concerning incremental changes to Breeze’s fleet plans and the corresponding impact on Breeze’s financial projections. Breeze enters the operational phase of its growth in a strong financial position. On August 28, 2020, Breeze raised approximately $83 million from equity investors through a Series A financing, providing it with more than adequate balance sheet strength to launch its new operations. This filing will describe and provide information about the new stockholders in Breeze and demonstrate that it remains a citizen of the United States. This pleading incorporates by reference the material submitted in support of Breeze’s application for authority and supplements the Application filed in February with additional, updated information.2 In support of this application for interstate scheduled authority to provide combination services, Breeze states as follows: 1 Breeze had proposed to commence its operations by flying charters and subsequently introducing scheduled service. With the disruption in college sports caused by COVID-19, Breeze intends to commence operations with its scheduled service. 2 On February 7, 2020, Breeze filed in this docket DOT-OST-2020-0019 an Application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity under 49 U.S.C § 41102 (hereinafter “Application”) to engage in interstate scheduled air transportation. DOT-OST-2020-0019 Application of Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. Page 3 of 7 1. Breeze is in the process of securing a Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) air carrier certificate and Part 121 operations specifications. As of September 11, 2020, the FAA’s Certification and Evaluation Program Office has accepted Breeze’s formal application package, concluding that “Breeze has met all Gate 2 requirements and will now enter Phase 3 of the certification process.”3 Breeze has since received approval to begin pilot and dispatcher training; this training began on September 21, 2020. 2. Breeze is a citizen of the United States as defined in 49 U.S.C. § 40102(a)(15). It is a Delaware corporation initially formed on August 25, 2017.

In addition, the Articles provide for a foreign stock registry that will further ensure that Breeze remains a citizen of the United States.

Any such stock is registered on a first-come, first-served basis. If the ownership by non-U.S. citizens ever exceeds 25%, the shares held by foreign citizens above that amount automatically lose the right to vote.6 3. Breeze has agreed to acquire sixty (60) Airbus 220-300 aircraft produced in Mobile, Alabama with deliveries now beginning in August 2021 that are ideally suited for introducing nonstop flights to the mid-size markets that Breeze intends to serve. Prior to the A220 deliveries, Breeze intends to initiate service with Embraer E190/E195 aircraft equipped with 108 or 118 seats respectively. Details of Breeze’s fleet plan can be found in Exhibit N. Although adjustments have been made to its plans, Breeze’s mission of providing nonstop service to underserved markets across the country remains unchanged. 4. For FAA certification, Breeze will conduct line maintenance at its facility in Islip, New York (“ISP”) and has contracted with Embraer in Nashville, Tennessee for heavy maintenance.

  • David Neeleman
    David Neeleman David Neeleman is that rarest of entrepreneurs, a man who has created and launched four successful, independent airlines, including the USA’s JetBlue and Morris Air, Canada’s WestJet and Brazil’s Azul. Azul, just seven years old, has already boarded tens of millions of customers. Born in Brazil while his father was Reuter’s São Paulo Bureau Chief, David has always had a deep love for the country. After his family moved to Utah while he was still a child, David would return to Brazil many times throughout his life. A dual citizen, David today relishes the dream before him to make flying cheaper and easier for Brazilians, giving access to air travel for many who have never experienced the opportunity before. Azul serves more than 100 destinations with an operating fleet of more than 140 aircraft, including Brazilian-built Embraer E-190 and E-195 jets, and ATR-72s. Just as JetBlue in the US before it, Azul is the first airline in Latin America to offer LiveTV inflight TV programming via satellite. It has been named Best Low Cost Airline in South America for the last five years at the Skytrax World Airline Awards. In June 2015, it was announced that the Gateway consortium, led by David, had won the bidding to acquire a stake in Portugal’s national carrier TAP. Gateway’s investment represents 50% of the airline. With the new investment, TAP is taking delivery of A330s and inaugurated new daily service from both Boston’s Logan airport and New York’s John F Kennedy International in June and July, respectively.

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT, Breeze will focus most flights from four main airports: Tampa, FL; Charleston, SC; New Orleans, LA; and Norfolk, VA.

  • A Case Analysis of the Jetblue Airways Valentine’S Day 2007 Crisis
    REGAINING ALTITUDE: A CASE ANALYSIS OF THE JETBLUE AIRWAYS VALENTINE’S DAY 2007 CRISIS Gregory G. Efthimiou A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Mass Communication in The School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Elizabeth Dougall Janas Sinclair Richard Blackburn i © 2008 Gregory G. Efthimiou ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT GREGORY EFTHIMIOU: Regaining Altitude: A Case Analysis of the JetBlue Airways Valentine’s Day 2007 Crisis (Under the direction of Elizabeth Dougall, Janas Sinclair, Richard Blackburn) Valentine’s Day 2007 changed the course of history for JetBlue Airways. The upstart low-fare airline – which had enjoyed unprecedented acclaim from customers and industry observers since its launch in 2000 – suddenly found itself in the midst of a major operational catastrophe. A winter storm that enveloped the New York metropolitan region and JetBlue’s hub at John F. Kennedy International Airport left hundreds of the company’s passengers stranded aboard planes on the tarmac, some for as many as ten hours. Hundreds more waited in vain in the terminal for flights that the airline would eventually cancel. The flight disruptions at JFK plunged JetBlue’s entire operation into chaos, forcing the carrier to cancel more than one thousand flights over a six day period. This thesis project describes the corporate crisis communication measures implemented by JetBlue Airways to repair its reputation. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author would like to extend his heartfelt gratitude to the members of his thesis project committee for their involvement and encouragement.
