Tallahassee travelers now have two new nonstop flight options as Breeze Airways began service from Tallahassee International Airport to Fort Lauderdale and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.
The airline’s first flights on the new routes started on July 2, adding direct connections between Tallahassee and the two destinations for the first time. Service will operate three days a week — Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
Breeze Airlines Communication Specialist Ryne Williams told the Tallahassee Democrat that the company was “really pleased with the performance of both routes and are excited to see how they continue to grow following the launch of service.”
“We are excited to begin service from Tallahassee to Fort Lauderdale and Raleigh-Durham on July 2,” said Williams,
Breeze is offering introductory fares starting at $39 one way for qualifying reservations, giving travelers another low-cost option for summer travel.
The launch of Breeze service marks the latest effort to expand air travel options at Tallahassee International Airport. City of Tallahassee Aviation Director David Pollard said the new routes support the city’s goal of increasing passenger traffic, economic impact and cargo activity.
“We are thrilled to welcome Breeze Airways to Tallahassee,” Pollard said, calling the addition an important step as the city continues investing in air service improvements.
The Tallahassee City Commission approved a program that good provide up to $3 million in incentives for the new routes at Tallahassee’s airport, according to TLH Airport Director David Pollard.
“We’re very pleased with the support of our leadership and the City Commission as we work to take that next step with respect to the implementation of the air service incentive and capacity improvements program,” Pollard said.
Breeze Airways founder and CEO David Neeleman said the airline is focused on providing affordable, nonstop service from communities that have had limited direct-flight options.
Founded in 2021, Breeze operates more than 300 year-round and seasonal routes to 86 cities across the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean. The airline flies Airbus A220-300 aircraft and promotes amenities including onboard WiFi, family seating options and flexible booking policies.
With the new flights beginning, Tallahassee residents will have expanded access to two additional nonstop destinations as the airport continues efforts to grow commercial air service.
