Breeze Airways celebrated its first nonstop flight from North Carolina via Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) to San Diego International Airport (SAN) at an inaugural welcome celebration at Gate 35 in Terminal 2. Breeze Airways is a new airline operating at SAN and the 17th airline to offer service from San Diego.
This inaugural flight marks the airline’s beginning nonstop service to five destinations across the country currently not serviced from SAN. These destinations include Cincinnati, OH; Jacksonville, FL; Norfolk, VA; Raleigh-Durham, NC; and Pittsburgh, PA. Additionally, Breeze Airways will offer daily one-stop/no plane change flights to Providence, RI, and Hartford, CT.
“We welcome Breeze Airways to San Diego International Airport,” said Hampton Brown, Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. “With their five new nonstop routes, travelers from Southern California will have convenient access to exciting destinations across the country. Breeze Airways’ commitment to affordable and efficient travel aligns perfectly with our mission to serve the San Diego community and the world.”
“We’re thrilled to add service to San Diego, our fifth destination in California, as we introduce five brand new nonstops and two direct destinations from San Diego International,” said Breeze Airways Founder and CEO David Neeleman. “Now San Diegans won’t have to connect when traveling to these seven locations, getting there twice as fast for around half the price, and travelers from those cities will have fast and affordable travel opportunities to come enjoy San Diego.”
Breeze Airways will be located in SAN’s Terminal 2. Routes from San Diego will be operated with Airbus A220-300 aircraft.
With the addition of these new routes, SAN now provides nonstop service to 84 destinations.
