en.Wedoany.com Reported - Breeze Airways plans to operate 266 daily flights in July, with capacity increasing 44% year-over-year. According to the airline's flight schedule submitted to OAG, it will serve 84 airports in July, with Tallahassee Regional Airport (TLH) and Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM) as new additions.

The Sunshine State of Florida is crucial to Breeze Airways. OAG data shows that Florida will account for 27% of the airline's flight volume in July. While Breeze Airways' overall capacity is up 44% compared to July last year, flights to, from, and within Florida will increase by 61%.

Thirteen Florida routes are set to launch. Eight of these depart from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), with destinations including Birmingham (BHM, operated exclusively by Breeze Airways), Charleston (competing with JetBlue Airways), Greenville/Spartanburg (competing with Allegiant Air), Jacksonville (competing with JetBlue Airways), Salisbury (operated exclusively by Breeze Airways), Tallahassee (TLH, operated exclusively by Breeze Airways), Tampa International Airport (TPA, competing with JetBlue/Southwest Airlines), and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (operated exclusively by Breeze Airways). Defunct Silver Airways operated the FLL-TLH route last year, and JetBlue Airways operated it in 2024. Three routes (BHM, Charleston, TPA) were operated by defunct Spirit Airlines earlier this year or in 2025. Breeze Airways will operate 13 weekly flights between FLL and TPA, which OAG shows will be the second-highest frequency tied across the airline's entire network in July. Across Breeze Airways' network, most routes operate only two to three times per week.

Additional Florida routes include: Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Atlantic City (operated exclusively by Breeze Airways; Spirit Airlines recently operated it); Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU, now the most-served airport by Breeze Airways) to Tallahassee (TLH, operated exclusively by Breeze Airways); and Tampa (TPA) to Atlantic City (operated exclusively by Breeze Airways; Spirit Airlines recently operated it), Columbus John Glenn Airport (competing with Southwest Airlines), and Punta Cana (competing with Frontier Airlines; JetBlue Airways will exit on June 10).

Six additional routes will also launch in July. Breeze Airways will also launch routes from Akron/Canton to Portland (serving Cleveland, about an hour's drive away), Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) to Greenville/Spartanburg and Portland, Columbus to Savannah, Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach, and RDU to Birmingham (BHM). All routes operate twice weekly, with only one route facing direct competition: Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach, where Breeze Airways will compete with Allegiant Air and Southwest Airlines. Spirit Airlines operated this market until earlier this year.

U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) data shows that in the 12 months ending February 2026, the RDU-BHM route had 31,615 round-trip indirect passengers, mostly connecting through Atlanta and Charlotte. This market is one of the largest within a 550-nautical-mile (1,046 km) radius of Raleigh/Durham without nonstop service.

Of the 19 routes, Breeze Airways faces no direct competition on 13 (68%). Most of these routes previously had nonstop service, such as CVG to Portland (operated by Delta Air Lines until 2008) and Greenville/Spartanburg (operated by Delta Air Lines until 2013), related to the now-closed Delta Air Lines CVG hub. Other routes, like RDU to BHM, were last served by ExpressJet until 2008. Some routes have never had flights before, including Portland to Akron/Canton, FLL to Salisbury, FLL to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and RDU to TLH. Two of these markets had fewer than 5,000 indirect round-trip passengers in the 12 months ending February. Breeze Airways' nonstop flights, relatively low fares, and product will significantly increase traffic in each market.
