N243BZ

This article covers the individual airframe N243BZ, an Airbus A220-300 built in 2024 carrying manufacturer serial number 55313. The airframe is owned and operated by Breeze Airways, a United States-based corporation, and is registered in the US civil registry. Delivered new to its current corporate owner in 2024, the aircraft’s condition and configuration reflect factory-new build standards and a market valuation recorded at $48,000,000.

The airframe operates in Breeze Airways’ network role, suited to short- to medium-haul point-to-point routes typical of the carrier’s operating profile; crew and maintenance records align with U.S. commercial airline regulatory standards. The cabin layout for the A220-300 platform commonly supports single-aisle, medium-density configurations optimized for 100–150 passengers, and this individual aircraft follows the type’s flexible interior philosophy. Avionics on this airframe use the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite as a typical A220 fitment, supporting modern integrated flightdeck functionality and airline maintenance diagnostics. Maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize the PW1500G geared turbofan program’s scheduled shop visits and the airframe’s entry-into-service tracking within Breeze Airways’ fleet records.

The Airbus A220-300 (BD-500-1A11) occupies a niche between regional jets and larger single-aisles, offering fuel-efficient operations enabled by the Pratt & Whitney PW1500G engines and a long-range capability of 3,400 nm. Competitors in its performance bracket include larger regional and smaller narrowbody types, with demand driven by carriers seeking lower per-seat fuel burn on thin to medium-density routes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe mirror the A220 family’s emerging market dynamics, where engine shop visit schedules, avionics support for Pro Line Fusion, and operator fleet commonality affect residual value and operational cost forecasts.
