An ultra-low-fare airline has started flying from Orlando to one of several new destinations across the United States.
Breeze Airways officially kicked off its new service between the Orlando International Airport and Springfield Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield, Illinois on Friday.
The new flight will operate twice each week on Monday and Friday before switching to Wednesday and Saturday on January 10.
“We are extremely excited to be the first airport in Illinois to welcome Breeze Airways with non-stop service from Springfield’s Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport to Orlando International and Tampa International Airports,” stated Frank J. Vala, Chair of the Springfield Airport Authority Board of Commissioners.
The new destination joins several others that were announced by the company earlier this year, including routes to Burlington, Vermont; Evansville, Indiana; and Madison, Wisconsin, among others.
Those services are scheduled to begin on January 30, 2024.
All of the new flights will be operated using Airbus A220-300 aircraft, according to the company.
Earlier this year, Breeze Airways began offering nonstop service between Orlando and the Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans.
Founded in 2018 by David Neeleman, who cofounded Jetblue and several other airlines, Breeze Airways launched operations in May 2021. The company is currently headquartered in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. The airline has been aggressively expanding its services since its inception and currently serves dozens of secondary airports across at least 27 states.
