The airline will be called Moxy Airways and will focus on point to point services between under-served secondary airports in the US.
It has apparently agreed orders for 60 Bombardier CS300 aircraft, to be delivered from 2020.
Described as a serial entrepreneur, Neeleman helped to establish WestJet Airlines and Azul in Brazil.
