New nonstop routes from Dulles Airport include Ogdensburg, South Bend, Provo, and Vero Beach
Breeze Airways, a low-cost premium leisure carrier, has been awarded its first Essential Air Service contract, launching daily flights between Ogdensburg, NY, and Washington Dulles International Airport.
This marks the return of service to this route, which has not been served since 2022. Flights are set to begin on Sept. 27, with fares starting as low as $45 one-way.
Breeze’s expansion continues with three additional routes from Dulles, connecting the nation's capital to previously unserved cities.
These new routes include Salt Lake City-Provo, UT; South Bend, IN; and Vero Beach, FL.
Tickets for these routes will start at $49 one-way, with service beginning in the fall.
"We are excited for Breeze Airways to become the 45th airline at Washington Dulles International," said Paul Bobson, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority vice president for airline business development. "These new flights will strengthen our airport’s position as the leading provider of nonstop destinations in the region."
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York also praised the expansion: "Breeze expanding its service in the North Country with flights between Ogdensburg and D.C. is great news for Breeze and the North Country. Ogdensburg International Airport is a gateway for commerce, tourism, and travel for North Country residents, and the sky is the limit for Breeze and Ogdensburg!"
Breeze Airways, founded by David Neeleman, has quickly grown its network since launching in 2021.
"With a great guest experience, including elevated seating options and fast WiFi, and added affordability, Breeze is allowing Guests to more conveniently travel to markets they’ve never seen with nonstop service," said Neeleman.
