Breeze Airways exits flights at Mobile's downtown airport

A spokesperson for Breeze Airways stated: "Effective January 31, 2025, Breeze will suspend service from Mobile International Airport (BFM). We see a lot of promise in Mobile and the surrounding area, so while there is currently no estimated timeline for resuming service at BFM, we hope to return as we continue to grow."

The spokesperson also mentioned efforts to assist affected passengers: "We are working with our Guests who have been impacted by this change to issue full refunds or serve them from one of our nearby airports in the meantime."

Despite leaving Mobile International Airport, Breeze will maintain its presence in Alabama through Huntsville International Airport. The airline plans to increase flight frequencies there this year.

The withdrawal is not expected to be permanent. The Mobile Airport Authority intends to shift all commercial services from Mobile Regional Airport to Mobile International by early 2026. This move aims to recapture passenger traffic that currently travels outside the region for direct flights.

Mobile Downtown Airport's new terminal construction is underway and includes five gates with potential expansion capabilities. This development is part of a broader plan that envisions enhanced transportation options and an Amtrak station near the site.
