Breeze Airways has announced that Springfield will be the latest city to join its growing national network. Breeze will offer twice-weekly service to both Orlando and Tampa, starting December 1 and 4, respectively, with an introductory fare of $49* one-way.
The new route to Orlando will be served on Mondays and Fridays, switching to Wednesdays and Saturdays on January 10, while the route to Tampa will be served on Mondays and Fridays. The introductory fare is available for purchase through September 25, for travel by April 30, 2024.
“We are extremely excited to be the first airport in Illinois to welcome Breeze Airways with non-stop service from Springfield’s Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport to Orlando International and Tampa International Airports. Breeze’s commitment to Springfield demonstrates the confidence they have in our community to support these new routes and to grow as new opportunities become available,” stated Frank J. Vala, Chair of the Springfield Airport Authority Board of Commissioners. “We thank Breeze for providing our community convenient and direct access to these two popular Florida destinations; we look forward to great success.”
“Springfield will be our first airport served in Illinois, and it’s joining the network with two great nonstop routes right from the jump,” said Tom Doxey, Breeze Airways’ President. “Breeze is all about adding service to underserved markets and city pairs, and we can’t wait to give the community of Springfield some new destinations with Breeze’s added convenience, affordability, and flexibility.”
