A low-cost airline developed for travel within the United States now wants to go overseas.
Breeze Airways has requested permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly the relatively new A220 on transatlantic routes.
It would like to use the Airbus A220, which would be a milestone for the small airline and the jet.
The carrier would like to fly to Europe, including Ireland and the Caribbean.
It is still being determined where the flights would emanate from, although speculation has it in New York and Boston because of their high Irish descent and population. The flights would be about 3,000 miles, but the A220 has a range of nearly 4,000 miles.
The A220 is generally used for flights of that distance. Half of Breeze's fleet is made up of those aircraft.
The most notable aspect is how quickly the airline has grown from its debut in 2021. It was founded by David Neeleman, who was responsible for creating JetBlue Airways.
Breeze has continually been adjusting its route schedule.

South Florida’s Gold Coast is renowned for its blue skies, pristine beaches, and ritzy lifestyle. Anchored by Miami to the south and Palm Beach to the north, this stretch of Atlantic coastline has long been a playground for the rich and famous. Smack dab in the middle of the Gold Coast is Fort Lauderdale. The tropical metropolis is sometimes overlooked for its glitzier neighbors when it comes to vacation locales — the city was once best known as the capital of spring break pilgrimages and, in more recent years, as a popular cruise ship port — but thanks to recent development, a thriving arts and culture community, an evolving culinary scene, and its laid-back vibe, Fort Lauderdale is now one of the state’s must-visit destinations.
