All the new operations are scheduled to commence in November, targeting tourists seeking an escape from the cold. Breeze Airways has distinguished itself by prioritizing connectivity to secondary cities with limited offerings from other airlines, utilizing a fleet of Airbus A220-300 and Embraer 190/195 aircraft.

Florida is a popular destination, especially renowned for its beaches, making it a favorite leisure spot for tourists during the winter season. Currently, Breeze Airways already operates to seven destinations within the state: Jacksonville (JAX), Fort Myers (RSW), Orlando (MCO), Sarasota-Bradenton (SRQ), Tampa (TPA), Vero Beach (VRB), and West Palm Beach (PBI).
