Breeze Airways said on Wednesday that it will launch service from two new cities, while also announcing a slew of new routes between existing cities.

The airline will start flying between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Wilmington International Airport (ILM) in North Carolina on Mondays and Fridays starting on Nov. 7. Breeze will also start flying to Maryland's Salisbury Regional Airport (SBY), located about 30 miles west of Ocean City on the state's Eastern Shore region. Breeze's SBY service will connect the airport to Orlando International Airport (MCO) on Mondays and Fridays beginning Oct. 1.

"After adding an astounding 29 new cities and 88 routes to our network last year and announcing seven new cities and 40 routes so far this year, Breeze is quickly becoming the fastest growing airline in the industry," Breeze founder and CEO David Neeleman said in a statement.

All of the new routes will be aboard Breeze's fleet of Airbus A220-300 jets, which feature Wi-Fi along with the airline's "Ascent" first-class seating.

Breeze uses a point-to-point operating model that aims to operate nonstop flights between smaller markets that do not otherwise have direct air connectivity. The airline began in 2021 by operating short flights of less than two hours with a fleet of Embraer jets leased from Azul, before building a fleet of brand-new Airbus A220 jets.

The airline expanded rapidly since its launch. In 2024 alone, Breeze added 29 cities and 88 routes, the airline said.
