Breeze Airways is poised to shake up the skies at Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN) by the end of the year. The up-and-coming airline will introduce 10 new nonstop routes, marking its entry into a territory primarily served by Avelo Airlines. Starting December 10th, travelers will have access to a range of destinations, including sought-after Florida locales like Fort Myers, Orlando, Vero Beach, and West Palm Beach. Breeze will also offer flights to Charleston, Jacksonville, Norfolk, Raleigh-Durham, Richmond, and Sarasota/Bradenton, providing East Coast travelers with a wider selection of options.
Adding to its offerings, Breeze will introduce a ‘thru service’ to New Orleans, featuring a single connection without a plane change. This strategic move puts Breeze in direct competition with Avelo, which has held the position of the primary East Coast hub at HVN since its inception three years ago. According to OAG Schedules Analyser, Breeze will directly compete with Avelo on six of these 10 routes.
The new routes and their specifics from Tweed New Haven Airport by Breeze Airways are outlined in the following table:
