N229BZ

The airframe bearing registration N229BZ is an Airbus A220-371 (A220-300 / BD-500-1A11) completed in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 55257. The aircraft is owned and operated by Breeze Airways, an airline based in the United States, and is recorded in operator fleet data with a standard commercial airline configuration. Delivered new in 2023 to Breeze Airways, this example entered service as a purpose-built single-aisle narrowbody for the carrier’s medium-density route network. Current valuation of the airframe is listed at $91,500,000, reflecting a modern-production, low-utilization A220-300 in commercial airline service.

This specific A220-371 is configured in Breeze Airways’ fleet data as C12Y125, with 12 business-class and 125 economy seats for a total of 137 passenger seats. The aircraft is equipped with a modern integrated flight deck, typically fitted with the Rockwell Collins / Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite on A220s, which supports advanced navigation, situational awareness, and airline operational integration. Operationally, the airframe suits short- to medium-range point-to-point and thin trunk routes within the carrier’s U.S. network, leveraging its 3,400 nm range and 447-knot cruise speed for efficient stage lengths. Maintenance and operational considerations for this unit align with standard Airbus A220 practices and Pratt & Whitney PW1524G-3 engine support programs used by commercial operators.

The Airbus A220-371 (A220-300) occupies a performance niche as a modern, fuel-efficient, single-aisle aircraft optimized for 100–150 seat markets; this example’s 137-seat layout reflects that positioning. Competing models in similar missions include stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbodies, but the A220 family’s newer-generation geared turbofan engines and integrated avionics offer operational cost advantages. For buyers and lessors, considerations include engine program participation, fleet commonality, and residual value drivers; the listed value of $91,500,000 for this 2023-built airframe indicates strong market demand for young, in-service A220-300s operated by established carriers.
