Breeze Airways: A Win for Florida

Expanding Opportunities in the Aviation Sector

Breeze Airways, the American low-cost carrier, has announced the establishment of a new operating base at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), signaling an exciting era of growth for the airline and the region. This strategic move is poised to enhance air travel options while creating numerous job opportunities.
  • New Operating Base at RSW
Breeze Airways will base aircraft at RSW, facilitating overnight operations and enhancing connectivity to at least 26 nonstop destinations from Fort Myers. This development reinforces the airline’s commitment to the Southwest Florida region.
  • Job Creation and Local Impact
The expansion is expected to generate around 100 jobs for pilots, in-flight crews, and ground staff, many of whom will reside in Fort Myers. This influx of employment opportunities is set to boost the local economy significantly.
  • Expansion of Destinations
The airline plans to introduce eight new nonstop routes this month, including flights to Long Island-Islip and Stewart/Newburgh. With competitive pricing starting between $65 and $79 one-way, Breeze aims to tap into the rising demand for travel to Southwest Florida.
  • Focus on Underserved Markets
Breeze Airways has strategically identified underserved routes, with 90% of its operations facing no direct competition. This approach positions the airline for sustained growth and success within the aviation market.

A Vision for Growth

Brian McCormick, Breeze’s Director of Airport Properties and Facilities, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, stating, “We are committed to this area for future growth. It’s going to be an important base for us. We’re here for a long, bright future in Fort Myers.”
