Providence – TF Green International Airport

Breeze Airways has emerged as a key player in Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport’s expansion.

Five transcontinental services are among the US carrier’s eight domestic additions, one of which will become the farthest route in its network.

Up to eight Airbus A220s will be stationed at the airport and the carrier hopes to be flying in excess of 20 routes from the base by 2027.

The ULCC is adding 27 new routes between April and June, including launching flights to two new destinations in Mexico.

The carrier is currently operating a network focused on short-haul routes in the eastern half of the US.

The ULCC will launch three routes from both Austin, Texas, and Nashville, Tennessee.

The carrier will operate to 23 destinations from PHL this summer.

A total of 39 largely unserved routes will be offered by the airline, with the first service starting before the end of May.

The carrier is also resuming flights from PHL to Dallas and Houston in May.

The airline’s latest network expansion is on top of eight routes announced one day earlier.

The ULCC plans to open six new routes from Atlanta, plus two from Philadelphia.

CEO Barry Biffle remains optimistic about the Denver-based airline’s growth prospects despite a COVID-19 “speed bump” slowing its plans.

Frontier is adding three US domestic services and increasing frequencies on seven other popular leisure routes.

Mint service from Newark to LAX and SFO will come first.

Airline will be operating to one airport in many cities.

JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines have applied for emergency exemptions to the minimum service order outlined in the US government’s CARES Act.

Norwegian’s summer flights from PVD will be a huge boost for the airport

As widely expected, European low-cost carrier Norwegian will introduce its new Boeing 737MAX fleet into operation on flights between the UK and Ireland and the United States of America. The budget airline will offer 38 new weekly transatlantic flights this summer from Edinburgh, Belfast, Cork, Shannon and Dublin serving ten routes.

European low-cost carrier Norwegian is set to open four new operational bases – two in the US and two in Europe – in 2017 to support the growth of its long-haul transatlantic network. The internal go-ahead for the expansion follows the final approval late last week by the US Department of Transportation for a foreign carrier permit for the airline’s Norwegian Air International business.

The route will operate from the city of Praia on the island of Santiago and will provide connection opportunities for inbound and outbound travel from/to other Cabo Verdean islands: Fogo, Sao Vicente, Sal and Boa Vista. The link will be flown by a Boeing 757-200 configured with 210-seats.

Condor will provide 518 seats per week to Portland and Providence including a Business Class offering using a Boeing 767-300 configured in three-class with 18 Business Class, 35 Premium Economy and 206 Economy seats. The Portland service will mark the return of flights to Oregon’s largest city from Frankfurt, a route previously served by Lufthansa up until September 2009.
