Breeze Airways has announced an expansion that adds service to two new cities—Lincoln, Nebraska, and Kingsport, Tennessee—along with seven new routes. The airline will begin flights from Lincoln Airport to Orlando on December 10. Service to Tri-Cities Airport near Kingsport starts December 12, with flights to Orlando and additional service to Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., beginning December 15.
Tri-Cities Airport serves the Tennessee cities of Kingsport and Johnson City as well as Bristol, which lies on the border between Tennessee and Virginia. This marks Breeze’s first entry into eastern Tennessee; it already operates flights in Memphis and Nashville.
Breeze’s move into Lincoln comes about two years after the local startup Red Way ceased operations after a brief stint.
