Breeze Airways Responds to Pilot Union's Mediation Request

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 14, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Breeze Airways has announced its stance on a recent development involving its pilot union. The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) has requested mediation through the National Mediation Board, a move that Breeze Airways acknowledges but does not share ALPA's perspective on.

According to Breeze Airways, the company is aware of ALPA's request and respects the union's decision to seek mediation. However, Breeze maintains that it has not been unwilling or unable to engage in good faith bargaining. The airline points out that significant progress has been made at the bargaining table, with tentative agreements reached on multiple sections of the contract.

Breeze Airways CEO, David Neeleman, stated, "We have made meaningful progress with ALPA and are committed to continuing these discussions. We believe that with the assistance of the National Mediation Board, we can reach a fair agreement that recognizes the contributions of our pilots while supporting the long-term success and sustainability of Breeze."

The airline further emphasized its commitment to building on the progress made and to continue productive discussions. Breeze Airways operates more than 300 year-round and seasonal routes to 91 cities in the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, using a fleet of Airbus A220-300 aircraft.

Founded in 2021, Breeze Airways has grown significantly since its launch, earning recognition for its high-value, low-cost nonstop air service.

Breeze Airways remains optimistic about the prospects of reaching a fair agreement with ALPA. The airline is committed to the ongoing discussions and believes that an agreement is achievable with the assistance of the National Mediation Board.
