XTRA Airways Inc., a Florida-based charter carrier. XTRA’s parent had sold most of its fleet to Swift Air, but kept one Boeing 737-400 to retain its Part 121 commercial airline certification."

I was deadheading on a flight just over a year ago, and the lady sitting next to me was one of the management team members that is putting this thing together. At the time, she said the plan was to get 737MAXs, but it looks like it will be 737-800s. She was one of the founders of JetBlue and long time management of Southwest. She said this new company would be the next southwest, flying point to point, using secondary airports if possible. I asked her how that was different than Moxy and Allegiant, and she said they were going to be leading edge with technology, but it looks like Moxy/Breeze says they will be leading edge with technology. So, who knows.
At least it isn’t Avatar Airlines.
