[QUOTE=David Puddy;3347758]Last I heard is that Breeze is looking at options for an extra fuel tank similar to what can be found in the A220 Bizjet (ACJ). Have you heard differently? This has been discussed for the last 6 months - it’s not news….


"The range Neeleman wants is 4,000 nautical miles. But for Airbus to give the A220-300 such an increase in range isn’t as simple as adding an extra fuel tank. The aircraft will need another increase in its MTOW. Breeze wants a range increase for its Airbus A220-300 The aircraft’s current range is enough for some fairly long trips. A 4,000-mile range would only make sense for international travel. We knew that Breeze will use their Airbus fleet differently from their Embraer fleet. But even so, it’s hard to imagine how they would get this kind of range."

BTW, also we heard that one A220 was gonna be delivered every month starting last October, so far only 1 was delivered. we are in January 2022 what happened with the other 3 or 4? range issues maybe?
