- Breeze is launching its 100th route, a new transcontinental flight from California to Florida.
- Breeze plans to expand service at the slot-constrained John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California.
Mickey Mouse fans looking to hit both Disneyland and Disney World on the same day will now have a nonstop option from California to Florida.
Breeze is adding John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California to its map with new nonstop routes from Southern California to Orlando International Airport and Provo Municipal Airport in Utah near Salt Lake City starting on February 16.
The airline will also add a nonstop route from Provo to Orlando, which will enable "BreezeThru" one-stop service with no plane change between Provo and Orlando for John Wayne flyers looking for a cross-country alternative. The routes will use the airline's signature Airbus A220 jets.
The upstart's new routes fits into the Breeze model of connecting leisure-heavy locations without nonstop service. Most major airlines serve John Wayne and Orlando, but flights between them require one or more stops.
The new airport will bring Breeze Airways' national footprint to 34 pins – more than double what the rapidly-growing startup carrier founded by aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman launched with in May 2021 — and 100 nonstop routes.
