February 7, 2020 Notice: Any person who wishes to support to oppose this application must file an answer by February 28, 2020 and serve that answer on all persons served with this application. DOT-OST-2020-____ Application of Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. Page 1 of 6 BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. __________________________________________ ) Application of ) ) Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. ) Docket DOT-OST-2020-_____ ) for a certificate of public convenience and ) Necessity under 49 U.S.C. 41102 to engage ) In interstate scheduled air transportation ) __________________________________________) APPLICATION OF BREEZE AVIATION GROUP, INC. Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. (“Breeze”) submits this 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. As demonstrated in this Application, Breeze is fit, willing and able to hold and exercise the requested authority. Breeze will use the trade name “Breeze Airways.” Breeze is a new entrant air carrier that plans to bring low-cost, nonstop services to mid- size markets abandoned by our current air transportation network. As major airlines have consolidated and concentrated their efforts at fortress hubs, entire segments of the country have seen their air travel options diminish -- reachable only through connections and the corresponding increased travel times. As a result, smaller cities have suffered through a sustained reduction in service as depicted below: DOT-OST-2020-____ Application of Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. Page 2 of 6 Breeze will introduce nonstop service to these neglected, forgotten markets. By flying a smaller plane with a lower trip cost, Breeze believes there are hundreds and hundreds of city pairs crying out for nonstop flights. Each market Breeze serves will realize significant public interest benefits from the introduction of its low-fare, high-quality service. Breeze respectfully submits that it has assembled a team to bring this vision to reality. Founder David Neeleman has made a career of innovating in the airline industry. For example, Mr. Neeleman’s first airline, Morris Air, was the first to bring ticketless transportation to the industry. Mr. Neeleman went on to found WestJet, JetBlue and Azul with each carrier delivering its own innovations -- from JetBlue’s free in-flight LiveTV to Azul’s introduction of services to previously unserved portions of Brazil. Breeze sees more opportunity for customer-friendly innovations, and it has assembled a team of seasoned aviation veterans with the experience to make them happen. DOT-OST-2020-____ Application of Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. Page 3 of 6 Breeze will rely heavily on technology to interface with its customers. Breeze has contracted with a group of technology partners for its reservation, customer care, flight operations, technical operations, training and manual systems. These partners are being integrated by Breeze to provide the most seamless customer experience possible. The integration of these systems will also allow Breeze to manage its operation in a more elegant way with improved efficiency– leading to lower costs, lower fares and higher customer satisfaction. In support of this application for interstate scheduled authority to provide combination services, Breeze states as follows: 1. Breeze is in the process of securing a Federal Aviation Administration air carrier certificate and Part 121 operations specifications. Please see Exhibit S for Breeze’s Pre- application Statement of Intent. 2. Breeze is a citizen of the United States as that term is defined in 49 U.S.C. § 40102(a)(15). The corporate structure of Breeze is simple. It is a Delaware corporation initially formed on August 25, 2017. Breeze’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000 shares of Common Stock.1 Breeze has issued only 100 of those shares of Common Stock and all of them to Mr. Neeleman, a U.S. citizen. Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. Capitalization Table Shareholder Shares of Common Stock % Mr. David Neeleman 100 100% Total 100 100% 1 See Exhibit 1. DOT-OST-2020-____ Application of Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. Page 4 of 6 While Breeze anticipates initiating an equity compensation plan for officers and employees in the future, no such plan has been adopted. Currently, Breeze has only one director – Mr. Neeleman.2 He is also Breeze’s Chief Executive Officer and President. Breeze’s By-Laws are attached as Exhibit 3, and information concerning Breeze’s other key personnel is provided in Exhibit F. An affidavit of citizenship is attached as Exhibit E. 3. Breeze has agreed to acquire sixty (60) Airbus 220-300 aircraft produced in Mobile, Alabama with deliveries beginning in April 2021 that are ideally suited for introducing nonstop flights to the mid-size markets that Breeze intends to serve. Initially, the A220s will be outfitted REDACTED with seats. Prior to the A220 deliveries, Breeze intends to initiate service with twenty-eight (28) 118-seat Embraer ERJ190-200 LR/IGW aircraft (“E195s”). The E195s will be leased from Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras S/A (“Azul”) in Brazil. Breeze entered into a letter of intent with Azul for the lease of the twenty-eight used E195s on December 26, 2019, and the parties expect to formalize the lease terms in the first quarter of 2020. These E195s will include a combination of aircraft owned and leased from Azul, and aircraft owned by lessors that are currently on operating lease to Azul and which will be subleased to Breeze.3 Details of Breeze’s fleet plan can be found in Exhibit N. 4. While Breeze’s corporate headquarters will remain in Darien, Connecticut, its commercial operations will be in Salt Lake City, Utah. Breeze’s initial markets will be underserved city-pairs that are currently without nonstop service. Initially, these will include 2 See Exhibit 2 (written consent of Mr. Neeleman in his capacity as sole stockholder confirming his own appointment as sole board member). 3 Azul S.A., Press Release, Azul Announces Sublease of 53 Embraer E195s (Jan. 28, 2020), https://apicatalog.mziq.com/filemanager/v2/d/ed78542a-4e01-429a-8926- 03d69ccfa307/4e42eeab-c5d0-27e4-9728-d31c18cb8f74?origin=1 (announcing proposed lease of E195s to LOT and Breeze Aviation Group). Confidential Treatment Requested Under § 302.12 DOT-OST-2020-____ Application of Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. Page 5 of 6 points east of the Mississippi river and primarily north – south. Many of these destinations are secondary leisure markets that have favorable costs for value conscious travelers or second homeowners. These markets in many cases support once a day service or service a select few days of the week. Over time the routes will cover the entire country. The range capability of the A220 further opens up point-to-point markets of up to 4,000 miles that today are not feasible. 5. Breeze requests confidential treatment of its specific initial proposed markets and certain details of the revenue projections of its specific launch plan under a separate motion for confidential treatment under 14 C.F.R. Part 302.12. 6. 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. As the route system grows, Breeze will use a mix of contract and in-house maintenance providers. At all times maintenance will be conducted in accordance with Breeze’s FAA-approved maintenance program. 7. Complete information in support of Breeze’s fitness for interstate scheduled air transportation of passengers, property and mail is contained in Exhibits A through V of this application. Letter designations of attachments correspond to section 204.3 of the Department’s regulations; that is, Exhibit A is responsive to paragraph (a) of Section 204.3, Exhibit B is responsive to paragraph (b), etc. 8. Additional documents explaining the ownership and corporate governance of Breeze, demonstrating its citizenship and explaining its financing plan can be found in Exhibits 1 through 7. These documents establish that Breeze is fit, willing and able as prescribed by 49 U.S.C. Section 41102 and that it is a “citizen of the United States” as defined in 49 U.S.C. Section 40102(a)(15). DOT-OST-2020-____ Application of Breeze Aviation Group, Inc. Page 6 of 6 9. Breeze requests that this application be processed by the use of expedited non- hearing procedures. The use of expedited procedures will serve the public interest by facilitating the introduction of Breeze’s innovative services as soon as possible. WHEREFORE, the Breeze requests that the Department issue a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity authorizing it to provide interstate scheduled air transportation of passengers, property and mail.

  • 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.

  • Merchant Category Codes
    Merchant Category Codes MasterCard, Visa, and online debit card networks (card types 013-018, 021-027, and 029- 030) use a 4-digit numeric merchant category code (MCC) to identify the type of business conducted by a merchant. Merchant category codes are used when a new merchant account is added to the System. They are also used in warning bulletins, authorizations, chargebacks, settlement, and in certain types of transactions classified as “quasi-cash” transactions by Visa. Merchant category groups (MCGs) are used with the Commercial Market Analysis product and are general categories under which merchant category codes fall. The System recognizes the following seven merchant category groups when generating the Commercial Market Analysis Reports. MasterCard also requires a single-letter transaction category code (TCC) to identify general merchant categories. The transaction category codes follow. Merchant Category Group Description MCG Code Travel 1 Lodging 2 Dining and entertainment 3 Vehicle expenses 4 Office services and merchandise 5 Cash advance 6 Other 7 MasterCard regulations formerly referred to merchant category codes as Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes.

  • The Effect of Airline Pilot Characteristics on Perceptions of Job Safety Risks
    THE EFFECT OF AIRLINE PILOT CHARACTERISTICS ON PERCEPTIONS OF JOB SAFETY RISKS By Leon N. Moses and Ian Savage1 A large cross-sectional sample of commercial airline pilots in the United States were asked for their perceptions of job safety hazards. Regression techniques are employed to investigate the relationship between these perceptions and both the length of tenure of pilots, and their specific employer within the industry. The latter is found to have a far more significant impact on risk perception. No evidence was found for a "learning curve" of job risk with respect to experience. Pilots' assessment of inadequacies in training and aircraft maintenance are found to be significantly related to the financial health of their employer. An extensive literature has developed analyzing the effects of hazards in the workplace on labor markets. Viscusi (1979) empirically supports the theoretical hypotheses that "risky" occupations are characterized by both wage premiums to compensate for the risks, and comparatively high turnover rates. The latter observation suggests that some occupational risks only become fully apparent to workers after on-the-job experience. This paper attempts to identify this "learning curve" using a large cross-sectional sample of U.S. commercial airline pilots. The pilots were asked for their risk perceptions on a number of potential job hazards. Regression techniques are employed to investigate the relationship between these perceptions and both the length of tenure of pilots, and their specific employer. In analyzing the inter-employer perceptions of risk, measures of firm size and financial performance are used. Therefore, the paper has a secondary objective of empirically investigating whether the characteristics of firms affect the choices they make in providing for workplace safety, in as far as it is perceived by their employees.

  • Breeze Airways Announces Debut
    UNDER STRICT EMBARGO UNTIL MAY 21, 2021 AT 8AM ET: Breeze Airways Announces Debut Service from 16 Cities including Tampa Bay, Charleston, Norfolk and New Orleans; 95% of New Breeze Routes are Without Existing Nonstop Service Today -- New “Low Fare, High Flex” Airline is David Neeleman’s Fifth Airline Start-up, 20 Years After JetBlue’s Launch -- Salt Lake City, UT (May 21, 2021) – Breeze Airways, the new “Seriously Nice” U.S. carrier from JetBlue founder David Neeleman, today unveiled its debut network, comprising 39 nonstop routes between 16 cities in the Southwest, Midwest, Southeast and Eastern US. The first flights will operate between Charleston, SC, Tampa, FL and Hartford, CT, starting May 27, with remaining destinations to be added each week through July 22, 2021. Flights are now on sale at www.flybreeze.com and the Breeze app, starting at just $39* one way. Breeze is Mr Neeleman’s fifth airline start-up, after JetBlue, Brazil’s Azul, Canada’s WestJet, and Utah-based Morris Air, which was later purchased by Southwest Airlines. 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. Joined by an experienced team of industry veterans, Mr Neeleman set out to build an airline that offers a great experience, with low fares and high flexibility: “Together, we created Breeze as a new airline merging technology with kindness. Breeze provides nonstop service between underserved routes across the U.S. at affordable fares. A staggering 95 percent of Breeze routes currently have no airline serving them nonstop.

    U.S. Department of Labor Office of Administrative Law Judges 11870 Merchants Walk - Suite 204 Newport News, VA 23606 (757) 591-5140 (757) 591-5150 (FAX) Issue Date: 27 December 2018 CASE NO.: 2012-AIR-00014 In the Matter of: ROBERT STEVEN MAWHINNEY, Complainant, v. TRANSPORT WORKERS UNION LOCAL 591, Respondent. ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT’S MOTION FOR DISPOSITIVE ACTION AND ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY DECISION This case arises under the employee protection provisions of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation and Investment Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR21), 49 U.S.C. § 42121 et seq. and its implementing regulations found at 29 C.F.R. § 1979. The purpose of AIR 21 is to protect employees who report alleged violations of air safety from discrimination and retaliation by their employer. Complainant, Mr. Robert Mawhinney, filed a complaint against American Airlines and Respondent, the Transportation Workers Union Local 591 (TWU). Complainant alleges he was “threatened, ignored, abandoned, and subjected to a hostile work environment” and ultimately terminated from employment on September 23, 2011, by American Airlines acting in concert with TWU.1 To prevail in an AIR 21 claim, a complainant2 must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he engaged in protected activity, and the respondent subjected him to the unfavorable personnel action alleged in the complaint because he engaged in protected activity.
