Beginning today, travelers also can book direct and nonstop flights with Breeze on the following new routes:
From Akron-Canton, Ohio, to:

Fort Myers, Florida (one-stop/no change of plane BreezeThru service, Thursdays and Sundays, starting June 5).
With today's announcement of Breeze Airways adding non-stop service to Charleston, SC, this makes the 19th destination out of the Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport. This is the most routes they've ever had at one time; 18 non-stop destinations and 1 "Breeze-Thru" from RDU to JAX. BTV's market demands are stronger than they ever had.
The news comes on the heels of Breeze’s January announcement celebrating its first full quarter of operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2024. The airline announced it achieved an operating margin of more than 4% in the fourth quarter thanks to strong demand for its unique business model, which brings direct air service to unserved and underserved secondary airports on its flagship fleet of Airbus A220 aircraft – one of the youngest, most efficient fleets in the industry.
The airline estimates there are hundreds of additional routes in the U.S. alone that could benefit from its unique service, leaving ample room for its continued growth.
Breeze was recently named Startup Airline of the year by the Centre for Aviation (CAPA) and recognized as a Four-Star Low-Cost Carrier at the 2025 Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) Five-Star and Four-Star Airline Awards. The APEX Five- and Four-Star airlines represent the top 100 carriers in the world for passenger experience, with only eight percent of airlines worldwide achieving this status. Earlier this year, Breeze was ranked in the top five of Travel + Leisure’s “Best Domestic Airlines” for the third consecutive year.
Coupled with an elevated experience featuring premium seating options and high-speed WiFi on its fleet of brand-new Airbus A220-300 aircraft, Breeze is defining what it means to be “Seriously Nice” in an industry that has been anything but.
