Here are the cities the new airline will serve and the non-stop destinations available from each: Focus Cities But the airline plans to be more of a point-to-point airline, and the route network reflects that.īreeze Airways will serve a minimum of 10 destinations from each of these three airports - New Orleans, Tampa, and Charleston.
Most routes will be centered around four focus cities: New Orleans, Charleston, Tampa, and Norfolk. In total, Breeze Airways intends to launch with 16 destinations. Breeze Airways will open a few more routes in June, but most of the remaining routes will begin service in July. One day later, Louisville will see service from both Charleston and Tampa. Charleston-Tampa and Charleston-Hartford will be the first two Breeze Airways routes, available starting May 27th. Just three routes will be up and running before Memorial Day 2021. And that should allow Breeze Airways to find a niche with its “Seriously Nice” approach to flying. Thus, there won’t be much overlap with the bigger and more established carriers. Breeze Airways says that 95% of its new routes are currently not served with non-stop service. In this latest project, Neeleman is focusing on underserved routes and mid-sized cities. Three of these four still exist, while Southwest Airlines eventually purchased Morris Air. Previous start-ups include Canada’s WestJet, Brazil’s Azul, JetBlue and Morris Air. This is Neeleman’s fifth start-up airline, and his track record is one of unparalleled success. Most are underfunded and struggle to succeed. I don’t get too excited about start-up airlines. In April, Avelo Airlines debuted with its promise of “ Surprisingly Low Fares, Refreshingly Smooth Travel.” Avelo is running flights out of Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR), in the Los Angeles area, and has plans to open an East Coast hub at Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN) in Connecticut. But Breeze Airways isn’t even the year’s first start-up airline.
It seems like the worst time to start an airline, with the world only just beginning to recover from a pandemic. The airline is selling tickets now for as little as $39, and its first passenger flights will take off starting May 27th. Breeze Airways is now open for business, with a goal toward being “seriously nice” and offering ultra low fares. New ultra low-cost carrier Breeze Airways is now open, selling tickets and preparing for its first flights before the end of May.Īirline magnate David Neeleman is ready to go with his latest project.
