Breeze Airways has announced the addition of three new cities and 19 new routes to its network, including six one-stop itineraries under its ‘BreezeThru’ service. The expansion will introduce Albany International Airport, Greater Rochester International Airport in New York, and Memphis International Airport in Tennessee to Breeze’s route map.
David Neeleman, founder and CEO of Breeze Airways, highlighted the airline’s significant growth in 2024 and expressed enthusiasm for continued expansion in 2025. “We see great demand and opportunity for our premium product offering in secondary markets across the country and are excited to add Rochester, Albany, and Memphis to our network,” Neeleman stated.
From Albany, flights will be available to Charleston International Airport, Raleigh–Durham International Airport, and Southwest Florida International Airport with a BreezeThru option. In Rochester, services will extend to Charleston, Raleigh-Durham, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (BreezeThru), and Orlando International Airport (BreezeThru). From Memphis, routes include Raleigh-Durham, Tampa International Airport, and Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport with a BreezeThru service.
The airline also plans to resume or start full-year or seasonal services from Akron–Canton Airport to Los Angeles International Airport and John Glenn Columbus International Airport to Portland International Jetport. Additional connections will be made from Fort Myers/Southwest Florida to Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport; Orlando with Raleigh-Durham; Pensacola with Raleigh-Durham; and Rhode Island/Providence via BreezeThru.
New routes are scheduled for May or June commencement. Eight routes will be seasonal resumptions or seasonal-only services. This announcement follows Breeze Airways achieving its first-ever operating profit in Q4 2024 with revenues of $200 million.
Neeleman commented on the company’s rapid growth: “In under four years, Breeze Airways has grown at an unprecedented rate while establishing a robust presence in dozens of underserved markets across the US.” The airline’s low-cost structure supports fare options averaging 44% lower than other carriers. As of December 2024, it was the sole operator on 87% of its non-stop routes.
