WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Transportation Department on Wednesday issued a final order allowing start-up airline Breeze Airways to begin operations.
The order clears the way for the company to use up to 22 large airplanes in interstate travel. The new Utah-based airline was founded by JetBlue founder David Neeleman, who is also Breeze’s chief executive. Neeleman has vowed Breeze will be “the world’s nicest airline.”
