![]() ![]() Those routes were introduced as seasonal options and will end after Labor Day weekend.Įdmondson-Jones told TPG that these are "seasonal shifts and the re-directing of resources" during the winter schedule. The airline will scrap service to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) at the end of May, and it'll temporarily suspend flights to Norfolk International Airport (ORF) and Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) after Labor Day weekend.īeyond New York, two-dozen other seasonal routes will wind down with the end of the summer schedule. ![]() Flights to San Francisco were cut before they even launched, while service to Vegas operated for just three weeks before also being slashed.Īside from Breeze's failed transcontinental experiment, the carrier is tweaking service from HPN to some southeastern cities. The same can't be said for Las Vegas and San Francisco - the two other cross-country routes that Breeze initially planned to launch from White Plains, as locals like to call the airport. It also boasts a very affluent catchment area, which includes some parts of Connecticut that would otherwise require a two-hour car ride to get to the major New York City-area airports. ![]() HPN is a breeze to navigate - I've never waited more than five minutes to clear security there. However, none have tried what Breeze thought would work: flying from Westchester County Airport (HPN) to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Plenty of established airlines serve the New York-to-Los Angeles market. Also, the timing of the flights didn't work well for Breeze's operation, explained Edmondson-Jones. Given the nearly six-hour flight time, the route required too many crew and aircraft resources. Most notably, the carrier will stop flying its transcontinental service between New York and Los Angeles beginning May 1, as seen in Cirium schedules and confirmed by airline spokesperson Gareth Edmondson-Jones. New airline startup Breeze Airways is facing headwinds on some of its routes. The airline expects most to resume next year. Editor’s note: This post has been corrected to show seasonal routes will cease operating as planned in September. ![]()
