U.S. carrier Breeze Airways is adding four routes to Florida leisure destinations for the upcoming winter season as the carrier continues to take on routes no other airline is serving.
Three routes will be to Orlando International Airport (MCO), while one will go to Tampa International Airport (TPA).
From Dec. 21, Breeze will add service from MCO to its Provo, Utah, base. Flights will operate 3X-weekly year-round.
From Feb. 6, the carrier will open 2X-weekly year-round service between MCO and Gulfport-Biloxi, Mississippi. From Feb. 13, Breeze will commence flights between MCO and Ogdensburg, New York. That route will be flown 2X-weekly on a winter/spring seasonal basis.
Breeze on Sept. 27 launched a U.S. government-subsidized Essential Air Service (EAS) route to Ogdensburg from Washington Dulles, entering the D.C. market by flying the service daily.
The fourth new Florida route will be a 2X-weekly winter/spring seasonal service between TPA and Erie, Pennsylvania.
“We’re connecting the dots between some of our existing cities with these exciting new routes, all of them previously unserved,” CEO David Neeleman said in a statement, adding the routes will be valuable "during the cold winter months.”
More than 80% of Breeze's routes are noncompetitive. The airline operates more than 200 routes spanning over 60 U.S. airports.
Breeze will operate the new Florida routes with Airbus A220-300 aircraft. The airline expects to have 32 A220-300 aircraft in its fleet by the end of 2024 and 90 by the end 2028. It will operate only A220-300s on scheduled service flights by next year.
Breeze configures its A220-300s with 137 seats, including 12 premium seats with 39-in. pitch.
Breeze CCO Lukas Johnson recently told Aviation Week that the carrier, launched in May 2021, has seen “tremendous” revenue growth in 2024.
