Breeze unveils 7 new cities and 14 new routes

New York Stewart International Airport (SWF) near Newburgh

Breeze’s expansion is a boon for SWF. The airport is located about 60 miles north of New York City but has struggled to hold on to traditional airline service. Currently, SWF is served only by Allegiant’s flights to a handful of beach destinations and by Play (flights to Iceland) and Atlantic Airways (to the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic).

Breeze will fly from Stewart to Charleston, South Carolina, and Orlando, giving the airport one new destination (Charleston) and the possibility for a few connections.

Stewart also beefs up Breeze’s presence in the greater New York City area. It already flies from the Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) east of the city and from Westchester County Airport (HPN) north of the city.

Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) in South Carolina

It’s no surprise that a leisure-focused airline like Breeze might look to the beach and golf resort of Myrtle Beach. But Breeze’s arrival there will make it one of a small number of airports outside Florida to be served by both it and fellow startup Avelo. With service to Providence, Tampa and Charleston, West Virginia, the airlines won’t compete head-to-head on any routes from Myrtle Beach – at least not for now.

Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport (AVP)

Small airports like the Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport in northeast Pennsylvania have struggled to hold on to airline service this decade. And they certainly don’t often land new service on startup budget carriers, but that’s just what’s happening at AVP. Breeze will become just the third airline to serve the airport (American and United are the others), and its flights to Orlando will become the longest regularly scheduled service there.

One route cut

Breeze will end its nonstop service between Tampa and Charleston, West Virginia. However, Breeze will still serve Tampa from Charleston via a one-stop “BreezeThru” service with its new route from the West Virginia capital to Myrtle Beach, which will continue on to Tampa.
