Breeze Airways Secures $47.5M Financing from AIP Capital

Breeze Airways has obtained USD 47.5 million in secured debt financing from AIP Capital, an aviation-focused investment management fund, to support its ongoing expansion across the United States and new international markets.

AIP Capital said the funding will help accelerate Breeze’s growth strategy as the carrier prepares to launch new routes and expand its network footprint. Breeze was recently granted U.S. flag carrier status, enabling it to operate international flights. The airline plans to begin service to Cancún, Punta Cana, and Montego Bay in the coming months.

Breeze Airways currently operates a fleet of 43 Airbus A220-300s and eight Embraer E190s, with two E195s scheduled for retirement. The airline has 49 additional A220-300s on order and holds options for up to 120 aircraft as part of its long-term fleet expansion plan.

Founder and CEO David Neeleman said Breeze continues to see strong potential in underserved U.S. markets, where demand for affordable, direct air service remains high. He added that the airline’s flexible business model and new-generation fleet position it well for sustained growth.

Neeleman also indicated earlier this year that Breeze could pursue an initial public offering (IPO) as early as 2026, depending on market conditions. The latest round of financing strengthens the carrier’s financial foundation as it transitions from a primarily domestic low-cost operator to a competitive player in the U.S. and Caribbean markets.
