Neeleman has made the identical argument since Breeze launched in 2021. On the time, he cited Huntsville — Alabama’s second-largest metropolitan space — for example of a vacation spot where the airline could benefit travelers with new nonstop flights.
Instances have modified, nonetheless, as have the aggressive dynamics. Spirit Airways is in bankruptcy for the second time in as a few years and continues to shrink, having just lately requested the court docket to return extra planes to their homeowners. Six of Breeze’s new routes both compete with the struggling airline — ACY-TPA, FLL-CHS, FLL-TPA and MYR-PIT — or fill a niche it just lately left — FLL-BHM and TPA-CMH.
Breeze additionally fills a niche left by different airways on intra-Florida routes from FLL. It replaces Silver Airways flights to TLH after that airline’s shutdown in 2025 and JetBlue Airways flights to JAX, which finish in March, schedule knowledge from aviation analytics agency Cirium reveals.
The airline faces different competitors on 5 of its new routes: Allegiant Air on FLL-GSP and PIT-MYR, JetBlue on FLL-CHS and FLL-TPA, and Southwest Airways on FLL-TPA, CMH-TPA and PIT-MYR.
Breeze’s progress at FLL places it in potential battle with JetBlue there. The latter provider is investing heavily at the airport with seats scheduled to extend by greater than a 3rd within the first six months of the 12 months in comparison with the identical interval in 2025, Cirium knowledge reveals. JetBlue executives hope to seize share at FLL because the airport’s largest airline, Spirit, shrinks.
Breeze, nonetheless, stays a tiny participant at FLL, flying lower than 1% of scheduled seats on the airport within the first six months of the 12 months.
