Breeze Airways, a U.S. startup airline founded by David Neeleman, is preparing to commence its first international flights in 2026, targeting popular vacation spots such as Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. The airline, which began operations in May 2021, will kick off its seasonal service on January 10 with a route from Norfolk, Virginia, to Cancun, Mexico. Additional routes will include flights from Charleston, South Carolina, and New Orleans to Cancun, as well as services to Montego Bay and Punta Cana. Breeze has been working with the Federal Aviation Administration to secure international flight certification, making it the first significant U.S. airline to achieve this since Virgin America. The airline's business model focuses on flying to cities with minimal competition, and it offers competitive fares starting at $99 one way, with strong demand for premium seating.
