The story in the figures
Breeze Airways' passenger-miles per gallon rose 24% between 2022 and 2025, from 48.7 to 60.5. Most of that came from the aircraft: seat-miles per gallon rose 15%, while planes ran fuller, with 71% of seat-miles filled in 2022 against 77% in 2025.
The shape of the flying changed as well: the average flight went from 120 seats to 135. In general, larger aircraft spread fuel over more passengers.
Its best year was 2024, at 61.5 passenger-miles per gallon.

The Breeze Airways fleet
Breeze Airways operated 54 passenger aircraft of its own in 2025. The average age was 3.9 years: 85% of the aircraft were under five years old and 0% were twenty or older. The oldest was an Embraer E190 built in 2006. That's the youngest fleet of the 12 airlines ranked here.
In 2021 the average age was 11.6 years across 14 aircraft. It's younger now by 7.7 years, and the fleet is bigger.
On the Airbus A220-300, Breeze Airways fits 137 seats on average, against a median of 140 at the other airlines that fly it (130 to 140). Seats on the same aircraft are one reason fuel per seat and fuel per passenger differ between airlines: the fuel burned by a given plane is much the same, and more seats share it.
