RDU's fastest-growing airline announces two more nonstops next summer
Breeze Airways will add two more nonstop destinations from Raleigh-Durham International Airport next summer, including its second international route from the Triangle. Breeze will begin flying between RDU and Buffalo, New York, on June 29. The low-cost carrier expects to operate those flights year-round, starting Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. The next day, June 30, Breeze will begin flying between RDU and Nassau in the Bahamas twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Those flights will be mostly year-round, with a pause during hurricane season. The airline will be the only one flying nonstop from RDU to the Bahamas, after BahamasAir discontinued its service to Freeport, Grand Bahama , in 2024. In 2025, Avelo Airlines announced flights to Nassau on Boeing 737s but canceled the route before service began because of poor sales. Breeze will succeed in part because it uses smaller planes, the Airbus A220-300 that seats 137 passengers, that the airline can fill and fly profitably, says Lukas Johnson, the chief commercial officer. Breeze has also established a track record in the Triangle, Johnson said, flying to more destinations from RDU than any other airline. “I think we’ve got the right product — plane, efficiency and presence,” he
