By December 2024, Breeze operated 220 nonstop routes, most of which were exclusive to the carrier, providing affordable travel options to underserved regions.
Breeze Airways sets itself apart with a customer-focused approach. Operating from secondary airports, the airline reduces both travel costs and times for passengers. Breeze’s competitive pricing strategy keeps fares 44% lower than rivals on similar routes. The airline’s policies, such as no cancellation fees and free family seating, have earned the loyalty of its growing customer base.
In addition to strategic pricing, Breeze continues to modernize its fleet. In 2024, the airline added 13 Airbus A220-300 aircraft, bringing the total to 33. It plans further expansion in the coming years. These efficient planes support Breeze’s goal of offering premium service on underserved routes.
