Breeze Airways’ Longest Airbus A220 Flight

Pratt & Whitney joined Breeze Airways in announcing the launch of the airline’s longest nonstop route, a more than 2,250 nautical-mile, Airbus A220 flight powered by GTF engines.

The GTF engine is the exclusive powerplant for the Airbus A220 family, which reduces fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions up to 25 per cent per seat, NOx emissions by up to 50 per cent and noise footprint by up to 75 per cent. Certified for operation on 50 per cent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and successfully tested on 100 per cent SAF, GTF engines are capable of further reductions in carbon emissions, which will help the aviation industry meet its goal of net zero emissions by 2050.

The airline operates 12 Airbus A220-300 aircraft, with the 13th to be delivered soon, and has an additional 66 A220-300s on order. Breeze also operates a fleet of Embraer E190 and E195 aircraft, each equipped with an APS2300 auxiliary power unit (APU) from Pratt & Whitney.
