Breeze Airways, the economical airline celebrating its third anniversary, is gearing up for the post-summer travel season with the announcement of several new routes and increased flight frequencies. The airline, known for its focus on expanding its network and maintaining profitability, is set to launch three new nonstop routes, connecting Burlington, VT; Fort Myers, FL; Long Island-Islip, NY; Tampa, FL; and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA.
These new routes will begin service in October, adding to the airline’s growing network. Additionally, Breeze Airways will introduce an extra weekly flight between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Orlando, FL, further enhancing its offerings.
To celebrate the new routes and the airline’s third anniversary, Breeze has launched a promotional campaign called “Destinations Dupes.” This campaign offers a 35% discount on roundtrip base fares with the code ‘DUPE’, showcasing domestic locations with an international flair within Breeze’s network. The discount applies to all flights except the newly introduced routes.
Prior to these upcoming additions, Breeze Airways already launched several new routes during the peak summer travel season. This includes reviving the Jacksonville to Westchester County route, which now operates twice weekly on an Embraer E190 aircraft.
In April, the airline expanded its network even further by adding five new routes, resuming two seasonal services, and increasing the frequency on two routes. These additions strengthened connections from Akron/Canton, Ohio, and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Myrtle Beach, Florida. New services were also initiated from Westchester County to Portland, Maine, along with the return of seasonal services to Norfolk and Jacksonville.
To further enhance its offerings, Breeze Airways boosted frequencies on existing routes, such as from Hartford to Myrtle Beach and Westchester to Raleigh/Durham.
In a recent conversation with Simple Flying’s US Lead, Jonathan Hendry, Breeze Airways’ founder and CEO David Neeleman expressed the airline’s openness to exploring numerous new network opportunities. He highlighted the airline’s success in establishing a profitable model by focusing on routes with no direct competition, a strategy that has proven successful for Breeze Airways.
Currently, Breeze serves more destinations than any other airline in 11 of its cities and remains the sole scheduled carrier in at least one city. This strategic approach has allowed Breeze Airways to quickly gain traction and solidify its position in the competitive airline industry.
