Sixteen destinations will make up the launch network for Breeze Airways, the US startup led by JetBlue founder David Neeleman.
The airline, which received its air operator’s certificate (AOC) on May 14, will commence its first commercial flights on May 27, opening two services from Charleston (CHS), South Carolina, to Tampa (TPA), Florida, and Hartford-Bradley Airport (BDL), Connecticut.
A total of 39 routes in the Southwest, Midwest, Southeast and Eastern US will be offered during the Salt Lake City-headquartered carrier’s first phase of expansion, with flights beginning to all 16 destinations by July 22.
“A staggering 95% of Breeze routes currently have no airline serving them nonstop,” Neeleman said. “The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nation s air service has meant many secondary markets and smaller cities have seen a significant reduction in flights.
