After taking flight in May 2021 from 16 destinations (most in the Eastern and Southeastern U.S.), Breeze now has a network encompassing 106 nonstop routes between 35 cities in 20 states-including flights between the East and West coasts for as low as $104 each way. Nevertheless, the timing is interesting considering that Breeze is the brainchild of JetBlue founder David Neeleman-and low-cost competitor JetBlue is currently in the midst of an international expansion of its own having recently announced that it will be adding Paris to its flight roster after introducing flights to London last year.īreeze’s international aspirations follow a year and a half of swift expansion stateside. If Breeze Airways gets certified for what the FAA calls “flag operations,” the airline would be allowed to fly outside the 48 contiguous states to Alaska, Hawaii, and international destinations.Ī spokesperson for Breeze confirmed to AFAR that the airline is planning for international service but said that FAA certifications take time so it is too early to say just when the airline would be able to start operating foreign flights and where they would fly. “We’re in the process with the FAA of getting flag ops added,” Johnson said at the Skift Aviation Forum in Dallas on November 16. Earlier this month, Breeze’s chief commercial officer Lukas Johnson said that the airline is working to gain approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to operate flights outside of the United States. After rapidly growing its domestic flight offerings since its launch in May 2021, low-cost carrier Breeze Airways is now aiming to fly passengers a bit further afield.
