This is influenced by the so-called Research Triangle region being among the fastest-growing areas of the US. For all of 2026, Cirium Diio data shows that Raleigh-Durham is Breeze's most-served airport for flights. However, from January 2027, Tampa will gain the throne, relegating the North Carolina airport to the second spot. While subject to change, the latest information shows that Raleigh-Durham is due to rank first again next July and August. Breeze Added These 12 Raleigh-Durham Routes In 2026 Credit: Wileydoc | Shutterstock Comparing the carrier's Raleigh-Durham network in 2025 with what's scheduled for 2026 shows that the following routes have all taken off, one in the past few days. To qualify for inclusion, all the markets must still be scheduled for 2027. This article simply summarizes Breeze's development at the North Carolina airport while providing additional context. The list includes one international market: the ever-popular Dominican Republic tourist destination of Punta Cana. Until 2018, no nonstop flights existed. Frontier operated in 2018 and 2019, followed by American and Avelo in 2025. While American continues to run, Avelo pulled out in January 2026, which spurred Breeze's entry two months later.

Breeze is renowned for beginning brand-new routes, with its relatively low-capacity, 137-seat Airbus A220-300s helping. Atlantic City, Bangor, Madison, Orange County, Provo, Tallahassee, and Vero Beach are all new to the airport's map. Some of the other destinations were served by other airlines in the past. For example, Stewart was part of American Airlines' network (when the carrier had a hub at Raleigh-Durham) until 1995 and later by Midway Airlines (which also had a hub). San Antonio was served by Frontier in 2018, while others (like Expressjet and Southwest) flew in the past. Midway served Dayton until 2001, while Expressjet flew to Birmingham until 2008. These Raleigh-Durham Routes Are Coming In 2027 While it is inevitable that more routes will be announced in due course for next year, the following list summarizes what is known as of November 11. Only one of them, Las Vegas, has previously been served by Breeze. The long transcontinental market to Sin City, which covers 1,761 nautical miles (3,261 km), had flights by the airline between September 2023 and January 2024. Start Date In 2027 Breeze From Raleigh Durham To... Operations June 29 Buffalo Four weekly June 30 Las Vegas Daily June 30 Nassau Two weekly US Department of Transportation data shows that the airline transported 10,284 passengers to/from Las Vegas and filled 78.2% of seats. As the load factor was similar to Breeze's average across its whole network at that time, the reason for the very short existence was to do with fares. The same source shows that the distance-adjusted total revenue per available seat mile was overwhelmingly the airline's lowest across its Raleigh-Durham routes at the time. It was also 31% lower than to Los Angeles, with that route pulled in January 2026. Breeze's return to Nevada will benefit somewhat from the exit of Frontier last August. However, it'll still face Delta and Southwest. Breeze Plans 44 Routes From Raleigh-Durham In 2027 While subject to change, the airline has scheduled 44 routes from Raleigh-Durham between January and June next year. It'll have well over double the number of routes of any other carrier. However, because most of its links will only have two to three weekly flights, all on 137-seat aircraft, it'll only be the North Carolina airport's fourth-largest operator for both departures and capacity. Recall that Breeze began flying to Raleigh-Durham in February 2023. Now that flights to Las Vegas are returning, the airline has ended only one route in nearly four years. This was to Los Angeles, with flights available between May 2023 and January 2026. While California's busiest airport is no longer served, Breeze started flying to Orange County, for the enormous LA Basin, in May this year.
