“We’re excited to continue expanding our presence at TPA with more nonstop options to underserved cities across the U.S.,” said Tampa International Airport CEO Michael Stephens. “These additions are a great fit for our growing route map and will be well-received by travelers across Tampa Bay.”

Breeze Airways has built a strong reputation by combining affordability with comfort, offering no change or cancellation fees, up to 24 months of reusable flight credit, and complimentary family seating. Passengers can customize their trip with a la carte options or bundled fares, and fly aboard Breeze’s modern Airbus A220-300s featuring high-speed WiFi and premium seating.

“Tampa holds a special place for us—it’s where our journey began,” said Breeze founder and CEO David Neeleman. “We’re proud to keep growing our network here and bringing more convenient travel options to the community.”

Breeze was recently honored as the 2025 Startup Airline of the Year by the Centre for Aviation (CAPA) and received Four-Star status from the APEX Five-Star and Four-Star Airline Awards, placing it among the global leaders in passenger experience.
