Breeze Airways, founded by David Neeleman, has quickly become a notable player in the US airline industry. The airline's strategy focuses on connecting underserved or unserved cities with affordable and convenient flight options.
**Fleet and Operations** Breeze's fleet consists of Airbus A220-300s and Embraer E190s/E195s. The airline is gradually phasing out its Embraer E195s while considering retaining some Embraer aircraft for charter services. Data from the US Department of Transportation reveals that Breeze carried 4.4 million passengers domestically in the year leading up to February 2025, capturing 0.5% of the market share.
**Route Network Expansion** As of May 30, Breeze plans to serve 70 airports across the US by the end of the year and aims to reach 150 airports by 2030. In 2025, they added eight new airports to their network: Albany, Fort Lauderdale, Greensboro, Key West, Memphis, Rochester (NY), Salisbury, and Wilmington (NC). Salisbury, MD, marks Breeze's debut in Maryland, offering flights to Orlando International Airport.
**Top Airports and Growth** Orlando International Airport is set to become Breeze's busiest hub, with 2,852 departures planned between June and December 2025. Other top airports include Charleston, Raleigh/Durham, Tampa, and Providence. The airline has seen significant growth in Orlando, driven by six new routes, while also experiencing success in New Bern, where it has completed its first year of service with strong demand for flights to Orlando and Hartford.
