Breeze Airways has announced new routes out of Washington Dulles, three of which will be previously unserved markets. The airline has made similar announcements previously and is also looking into international operations in places like the Caribbean.
This new Breeze Airways operations will be servicing out of Washington Dulles International Airport in the coming weeks. One of the destinations Ogdensburg, New York will be its first Essential Air Service contract. While the pair with this isn’t new, it hasn’t been served since 2022.
The carrier’s three other new destinations out of Washington Dulles will be previously unserved routes. These destinations are to Salt Lake City-Provo, Utah; South Bend, Indiana; and Vero Beach, Florida.
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York said that the Washington-Ogdensburg service is of mutual advantage for Breeze, Ogdensburg, and the North Country’s economy. Paul Bobson, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority vice president for airline business development, commenting on this development said.
“We are excited for Breeze Airways to become the 45th airline at Washington Dulles International. Breeze will give local travelers access to three previously unserved markets from the Washington, D.C., region while bringing nonstop service back to upstate New York. With these new flights, Dulles will reinforce its position as the airport with the most nonstop destinations of any airport in the region.”
