Breeze adds nonstop RDU flights to another popular destination. What to know
Breeze Airways will launch nonstop service between Raleigh-Durham International Airport and Provo, Utah, starting Oct. 2, giving Triangle travelers a second option for flying direct to the state. The fast-growing carrier now offers 40 nonstop destinations from RDU, making it the busiest airport in Breeze’s network.
FULL STORY: A second airline will begin offering nonstop flights from RDU to Utah this fall
Here are key takeaways:
• The new RDU-to-Provo flights will operate twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays. Provo is about an hour south of Salt Lake City, where Delta Air Lines already flies daily from RDU.
• Breeze has been on a rapid expansion tear at RDU, announcing new service to five other cities already this year: San Antonio, Madison, Birmingham, Tallahassee and Atlantic City.
• RDU is now the busiest airport in Breeze’s network of more than 80 airports. The airline more than doubled its RDU passenger count last year to nearly 660,000.
• Breeze has established a crew base at RDU that will eventually include more than 200 pilots and flight crew.
• The airline launched its first international flight from the Triangle to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, on March 4. A second international route, to Montego Bay, Jamaica, has been postponed until December because of damage from Hurricane Melissa last fall.
• Breeze tends to fly to airports near large metro areas rather than the main hub, such as White Plains outside New York and Orange County near Los Angeles. The carrier is headquartered in Cottonwood Heights, a suburb of Salt Lake City.
