The nation’s capital is set to receive a new airline, with Breeze adding flights as early as this month. Washington Dulles will be a brand-new airport on the carrier’s route map.
As previously reported by AirlineGeeks, Breeze won the Essential Air Service (EAS) contract in Ogdensburg, New York, with service to Washington Dulles slated to launch Sept. 27.
In addition to this new government-subsidized route, the airline is planning three other services from Dulles. These include Provo, Utah; Vero Beach, Florida; and South Bend, Indiana.
“As we connect more unserved city pairs, Breeze is expanding its premium leisure low cost product to more communities,” said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ founder and CEO, in a news release. “With a great Guest experience, including elevated seating options and fast WiFi, and added affordability, Breeze is allowing Guests to more conveniently travel to markets they’ve never seen with nonstop service. These new routes to Dulles will be a huge boost not only for our network, but for Ogdensburg, Provo, South Bend, and Vero Beach.”
Flights to Provo will begin Oct. 1, operating Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. On Nov. 8, service between Dulles and South Bend will begin on Mondays and Fridays.
Vero Beach will see service on Thursdays and Sundays starting Nov. 21. None of these routes have received regular service from the D.C. area, Breeze says.
