He has visited OEM facilities as far and wide as Bristol, Toulouse, and Seattle, and recently enjoyed the milestone of flying his 150th sector as a passenger. Based in Norfolk, UK. A lot can change in a year, and this is certainly true in the world of commercial aviation. US-based carrier Breeze Airwaysis emblematic of this adaptability, with scheduling data from Cirium, an aviation analytics company, showing that, compared to September 2025, it will operate 79 new routes next month. Many of these are concentrated in Florida, showing the importance of this market. Since commencing operations after the coronavirus pandemic, Breeze has gone from strength to strength. Alongside its impressive network growth, it has also upgraded its fleet by beginning to phase out the Embraer E190 in favor of the larger, newer Airbus A220, which, unlike the Brazilian regional jet, has a dedicated premium cabin. Fort Lauderdale Is The Biggest Winner Credit: Shutterstock Of the 79 new routes that Breeze is set to operate this September compared to the same month last year, some 12 will start or end at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) in Florida. This includes the intra-state route to Tampa International Airport (TPA), which, at 55 flights a week, has the highest frequency of any of Breeze's 79 new additional routes this time around. Among its other big hitters from Fort Lauderdale are Myrtle Beach and Jacksonville with 30 each, Pensacola with 21, Savannah with 17, Charleston with 16, and Greensville and Tallahassee with 13 each. Lower frequencies serve Birmingham, Huntsville, Wilmington, and Akron (CAK). Breeze CEO David Neeleman commented on the airline's FLL growth. "Breeze was designed for convenience, and these routes will make it easier than ever for our Guests in the region to get where they want to go." Other Big Hitters FLL is one of three airports with ten or more new Breeze routes this September. Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) in North Carolina ranks second, with 11, and its top new destination is Tallahassee, with 13 rotations. Its other new routes include New York, Portsmouth, Manchester, Bangor, Birmingham, Atlantic City, and Key West. Returning to Florida, Orlando International Airport (MCO) ranks third, with ten new routes. Breeze's top new links by frequency each serve Myrtle Beach and Pensacola 30 times a week; elsewhere, Atlantic City has 20 weekly flights. Other lower-frequency Breeze routes from Orlando include Norfolk, Salisbury, Lincoln, Brownsville, and Windsor Locks. Breeze's Biggest Additions Cities New Routes Fort Lauderdale 12 Raleigh-Durham 11 Orlando 10 Tampa 9 Las Vegas & Myrtle Beach 8 Tampa isn't far behind, with nine new routes. Alongside the aforementioned corridor to Fort Lauderdale, Breeze now also flies from here to Nassau, Pittsburgh, Wilmington, Louisville, Atlantic City, Columbus, Rochester, and West Virginia. Elsewhere, it has also added eight routes apiece from Myrtle Beach and Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas. The Best Of The Rest While Breeze's additions are concentrated at the six airports already covered, some new corridors still do not start or end at these facilities. For instance, passengers flying out of Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) in California now have 18 weekly Breeze services to Provo, Utah to choose from. Elsewhere, Wilmington to Islip has 13 flights a week in each direction. There are also plenty of cases where separate airports newly served from Breeze's main bases also have new flights between one another. This is the case on the route from Akron to Savannah, with 11 weekly rotations. At the other end of the scale, routes such as Windsor Locks to Phoenix, New Orleans to Fort Myers, and Trenton to Vero Beach each have just one.
