N220BZ

This airframe, registered as N220BZ, is an Airbus A220-300 (type designation BD-500-1A11) built by Airbus Canada Limited Partnership in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 55202. The aircraft is owned and operated by Breeze Airways, an airline based in the United States, and is registered under the US registry. The airframe carries a reported corporate valuation of $91,500,000 and, as a recent production delivery, reflects contemporary condition and market positioning for early-life A220-300s. Entered service with Breeze Airways upon delivery, this example aligns with the operator’s fleet strategy for short- to medium-haul U.S. point-to-point operations.

This A220-300 is outfitted in a reported operator configuration offering a two-class cabin: 36 Business + 90 Economy (126 total), reflecting Breeze Airways’ focus on a mix of premium and high-density economy seating for domestic network flexibility. The avionics fit is the typical package for A220 operators, listed as Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities and avionics commonality across similar fleets. With a range of 3,400 nm and a cruise speed near 447 kts, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and longer thin-origin point-to-point routes within the United States and nearby international markets. As a 2023 build, maintenance considerations align with new-aircraft warranties and scheduled maintenance programs typical for manufacturer-backed deliveries.

The Airbus A220-300 occupies the regional-to-short-haul single-aisle niche with a modern geared-turbofan engine architecture—here the Pratt & Whitney PW1500G—that yields lower fuel burn and improved cabin comfort compared with older regional types. Competing models include higher-capacity variants of regional jets and smaller narrowbodies, with the A220-300 often chosen for its seat-mile economics and range-capability tradeoffs. For buyers and lessors, early-life examples such as N220BZ generally command stronger resale prospects and predictable maintenance costs, while operator-specific cabin fits (in this case the 36/90 layout) influence secondary-market demand.
