David Neeleman clearly has a passion for the travel world, particularly the airline sector — and knows the business as well as anyone.  After his many successes in the industry over the years with Morris Air, WestJet, JetBlue Airways and Azul, you could understand if he simply opted to enjoy life in a more leisurely way.  But that’s not who David Neeleman is, instead he’s now running his 5th start-up airline — Breeze Airways — and 5 years into their operations he has another success story that he’s directing!

The Careys have had a connection with David dating back to his JetBlue days, and they’ve followed with interest the development and expansion of Breeze Airways.  Coming off their very successful Utah travels and the big “Let’s Go America! Tour” – Park City, Robert & Mary reconnected with David for an extended “Chief Travel Leader” conversation during the 18 April 2026 live national broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio Show.  From discussing his love of Utah and their experiences, to Breeze Airways being headquartered in Salt Lake City, the evolution of their aircraft to be an all Airbus A-220 fleet this year, growth into nearly 90 cities with service, new international markets, how they pick non-stop routes to add, the Breeze Rewards Visa card, changes to their loyalty program and more it was again a wide-ranging and engaging conversation.  The Careys also discussed Allegiant Air’s acquisition of Sun Country Airlines and got David’s thoughts on the possibility of United Airlines buying American Airlines and the hurdles involved.

During our 26 October 2024 live national broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio Show, we decided to checkin with Breeze Airways CEO David Neeleman for the latest “Chief Travel Leader” conversation.  Discussing the growth of Breeze Airways from serving around 15 initial markets just over 3 years ago to now over 65,  their operations and commitment to being a “Seriously Nice Airline” rather than a transactional one, the benefits the Airbus A220 aircraft brings to Breeze and the popularity of their premium offerings via Ascent.  Every conversation we have with David is a comfortable one and only reinforces why he’s been able to have such a positive impact on the Airline Sector of travel.

Roughly two years have passed since we last connected with David on-air, and with the summer travel season here combined with the continued impressive growth and expansion of Breeze Airways, we invited him back for our live national broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio Show on 15 July 2023.  During this latest “Chief Travel Leader” conversation David was candid and upbeat about where the continued evolution of Breeze Airways stands currently, we discussed the Airbus A220 aircraft that Breeze has made a major commitment to, got his thoughts on the Airline Sector of Travel, and also talked about where there challenges are anytime an airline enters a new market with new service.
