Breeze Airways, the innovative low-cost airline, has exciting news for travelers in the Greenville-Spartanburg region. The company announced on Tuesday that it will be launching a new service at the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) starting in May.

With GSP as a new addition, Breeze will now serve a total of 49 cities nationwide, further linking communities across the country.

Breeze Airways will offer nonstop service from GSP to multiple sought-after destinations.

Green International Airport (PVD), Orlando, Florida through the Orlando International Airport (MCO), and Tampa, Florida via the Tampa International Airport (TPA). This exciting venture makes Breeze the eighth major airline to serve GSP while introducing the airport's first-ever nonstop flights to Los Angeles, Hartford, and Providence.

The announcement has garnered praise from regional authorities, including Dave Edwards, President & CEO of Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District. "We applaud Breeze Airways' decision to launch new service at GSP and particularly their plans to launch the Western Carolina region's first and only nonstop flights to Los Angeles, Hartford, and Providence/Boston," said Edwards. "These markets have been among our most requested destinations, and GSP is thrilled to make this new service a reality."

The Greenville-Spartanburg region has witnessed a steady increase in the number of individuals from the Northeast and West Coast choosing to live and work in the Carolinas. Breeze Airways' new service will not only meet the growing demand for convenient travel options but is also expected to generate new investments in the business and tourism sectors. Thanks to Breeze, traveling to and from the West Coast and Northeast will be easier than ever before, benefitting both locals and visitors alike.

Heath Dillard, President and CEO of VisitGreenvilleSC, emphasized the positive impact of enhanced air service connections on the region. "Greater accessibility and air service connections benefit tourism, broader economic development, and our local residents' quality of life," stated Dillard. "These 5 new direct GSP flights from Breeze Airways will propel economic growth and bring intangible benefits that help elevate the Greenville community and the entire Upstate region."

Breeze Airways plans to commence operations at GSP on May 3, with twice weekly flights on Mondays and Fridays. The airline will utilize the advanced Airbus A220-300 aircraft, renowned for its efficiency and passenger comfort.
