Breeze Airways is expanding its footprint once again with 14 new routes and four new cities (three brand-new destinations and one returning ) set to begin in May. The new additions include Atlantic City, Brownsville, Nassau, and the return of San Antonio, which Breeze last served in 2022.
The announcement highlights the carrier’s continued strategy of matching underserved leisure markets with low-frequency, point-to-point service and in several cases, introducing entirely new airline competition to smaller airports. This is exciting news for Atlantic City as Spirit and Allegiant have been the only airlines flying there.
New Cities Score Big With Breeze Presence
Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) and Brownsville-South Padre Island International Airport (BRO) stand out among the winners. In Brownsville, Breeze joins only two existing US carriers and adds new connectivity beyond Texas. Nassau also becomes Breeze’s fourth international destination, joining Cancun, Montego Bay, and Punta Cana via Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS). The return of San Antonio International Airport (SAT) adds more Texas connectivity with multiple new routes.
Louisville and Raleigh See the Biggest Boosts
Among existing stations, Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) and Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) were the biggest beneficiaries. Louisville gains three new seasonal Westbound and Eastbound links, while Raleigh secures three new point-to-point connections, expanding Breeze’s total to 38 seasonal and year-round nonstop routes from the North Carolina airport.
A Nearly Transcontinental Play
One standout is Breeze’s new route linking Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF). At 1,842 miles, it becomes Louisville’s second-longest nonstop. It only trails Breeze’s existing connection to San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
New Routes Across the Country
Breeze continues to grow and pick up markets. I’m excited about the new service to Nassau from Tampa and to see more competition at Atlantic City.

Breeze’s Continued Leisure-First Strategy
With these additions, Breeze continues to double down on its core strategy: find medium-distance leisure markets underserved by legacy carriers, provide low-frequency nonstop service, and connect airports lacking nonstop competition. While many of the routes will launch seasonally, several could be extended if demand holds (particularly in international markets where Breezes sees room to expand).
Anthony’s Take: I have several Breeze Airways flights coming up over the next few weeks and will report back on my experiences. It’s great to see the airline continue to grow and expand.
