Low-cost carrier Breeze Airways has unveiled a wave of network growth: 31 new nonstop routes rolling out between December 2026 and early summer 2027, mostly linking smaller US cities that big airlines skip, plus a handful of flights to the Caribbean and Latin America.
The Utah-based airline built its name on bypassing congested hubs, and this expansion doubles down on that. Tampa emerges as Breeze's busiest airport, gaining six new routes: Cancun and Montego Bay from December 19, Saint Thomas from December 16, Las Vegas from January 5, Islip (Long Island) from January 6, and Santo Domingo from June 18.
Myrtle Beach is the single biggest winner with 11 new routes. The South Carolina beach city lost a huge chunk of its air service when Spirit Airlines collapsed, and Breeze is stepping in to fill the gap. Most of the new links start in late May 2027 and connect the Grand Strand to East Coast cities including Boston, Albany, Syracuse, Portland (Maine), Burlington, Portsmouth, Newburgh, New Haven and Columbus, with Latrobe arriving earlier on February 9 and Buffalo on July 1.
Winter-sun seekers get plenty too. Pittsburgh gains nonstop flights to both Cancun and Punta Cana from January 7, 2027, Columbus starts Punta Cana service on January 8, and Richmond picks up Cancun from January 8. Raleigh-Durham adds four routes: Dayton (November 6, 2026), Las Vegas (January 17), Nassau (June 30, 2027) and Buffalo (June 29, 2027).
Palm Beach, recently rebranded as President Donald J. Trump International, gets three new routes in mid-December 2026: to Atlantic City, Columbus and Greenville-Spartanburg. Other additions include Fort Myers to Trenton (January 8, 2027) and a restored Phoenix to New Orleans link from February 1, 2027.
Worth knowing: many of these will run seasonally rather than year-round. Breeze is essentially testing demand over one season before committing, so if a route matters to your plans, book early and check the schedule extends beyond your travel dates.
For travellers, the takeaway is simple: if you live near a secondary airport like Trenton, Islip, Latrobe or Newburgh, Breeze is one of the few airlines building service where you actually are. Fares are low-cost style, meaning bags and seat selection cost extra, but the point-to-point routes can save hours of hub connections. Sun-chasers in Pittsburgh, Columbus and Richmond suddenly have direct Caribbean options without a change of plane, and Myrtle Beach holidaymakers have more East Coast gateways than they've had in years.
