2 new airlines await Americans looking to fly somewhere
Associated PressAmericans are traveling in the greatest numbers in more than a year, and soon they will have two new leisure-oriented airlines to consider for those trips. “Customers want a really inexpensive way to get from Point A to Point B.” Waiting in the wings is Breeze Airways, the latest creation of David Neeleman, who helped start Canada’s WestJet before founding JetBlue Airways and the Brazilian airline Azul. “These entrants need to make sure that they target places that aren’t going to ruffle the wrong feathers.” ___ AVELO Levy is a former Allegiant Air and United Airlines executive who has finally achieved a yearslong dream of starting an airline. “It’s not that it hasn’t been done before, it’s just that it hasn’t been done in a really long time — staying away from the really big airports wherever it is possible,” Levy says. Like Avelo, Breeze planes won’t have a separate cabin for first-class or business-class seating, but Neeleman isn’t ruling that out when his airline begins flying slightly larger Airbus A220 jets later this year.
