Low-cost carrier Breeze is expanding service to two new cities: Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Salisbury, Maryland.
Starting Oct. 1, Breeze will offer non-stop flights between Salisbury and Orlando on Mondays and Fridays. Non-stop flights between Fort Lauderdale and Akron, Ohio, will begin Nov. 5, operating on Wednesdays and Saturdays, while a non-stop route connecting Fort Lauderdale and Wilmington, North Carolina, will launch on Nov. 7, running Mondays and Fridays.
Salisbury is a commercial center of the Delmarva Peninsula and close to Ocean City, Maryland, a popular vacation destination.
New Routes
Also announced Wednesday were new routes to and from airports where Breeze already has a presence.
Much of the buildup is centered on Akron and Wilmington, with six and five new destinations, respectively, but the airline is also adding routes to and from Bentonville-Fayetteville in Arkansas; Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, Key West, Orlando, Pensacola, Tampa, and West Palm Beach in Florida; Lansing, Michigan; Islip and Rochester in New York; Manchester, New Hampshire; Memphis; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; New Orleans; Raleigh-Durham in North Carolina; and Savannah, Georgia.
Breeze officials attributed the expansion to demand from customers. The airline said it has added seven cities and 40 new routes just this year.
The airline is nearing its fourth anniversary of operations on May 27.
