Breeze has added 30 new non-stop routes involving ten brand-new airports. They're supplemented by new non-stop services between existing airports, such as Hartford-Akron Canton, Hartford-Richmond, Columbus-Providence, and Providence-Richmond.

Breeze currently uses 96-seat Embraer 190s and 118-seat Embraer 195s, with 126-seat A220-300s entering service soon. Its A220s will play a crucial role in the routes mentioned below and include 36 seats in Nicest, 10 in Nicer, and 80 in Nice (economy). Its A220s will feature in-flight connectivity using Viasat equipment from October, especially useful on long transcon services.

Ten airports join Breeze's map

With ten airports joining its network, Breeze will serve 28 airports country-wide. The most exciting is its foray in the West, with Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and San Francisco to be served.

  1. Fort Myers
  2. Jacksonville
  3. Las Vegas
  4. Los Angeles
  5. Nashville
  6. San Bernardino
  7. San Francisco
  8. Sarasota
  9. Savannah
  10. Syracuse

San Bernardino, an airport well known for cargo and aircraft storage, is the biggest surprise. It has no scheduled passenger service. Located about 24 miles (39km) east of Ontario, it'll now be connected non-stop to San Francisco; a good example of Breeze creating brand-new markets.

30 new routes from the ten new airports

Despite being new airports, the amount of 'connecting the dots' with Breeze's existing network is enormous. It helps drive various economies, including marketing, and (in Europe at least) better airport deals. It also helps predict where it might go next, especially if an airport can feasibly sustain multiple routes.

Like many new entrants, Breeze mainly focuses on unserved markets. Of the 30 routes, only four (13%) have direct competition, including with Silver Airways between Jacksonville and New Orleans. At 514 miles (827km), it's a long route for Silver's ATRs; it has a block time of up to 2.5 hours, but it'll be 45 minutes quicker with Breeze. Silver will probably end the route.

Some routes appear bookable for only a short time, e.g., Jacksonville-Las Vegas, San Bernardino-San Francisco, Las Vegas-Huntsville, Las Vegas-Norfolk. Worry not: it's because flights for all routes are currently bookable until September 6th.
