Breeze Airways will launch additional Tampa routes in May

Breeze Airways kicked off Valentine’s Day with a little something sweet, announcing three new nonstop destinations from Tampa this summer.

Starting May 17, the low-cost airline will begin service from TPA to Portland, Maine with flights to Hartford, Conn. launching the next day; service to Providence, R.I., will begin July 14.

• Hartford will operate Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
• Portland will operate Wednesday and Saturday.
• Providence will operate Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

“Tampa International Airport is delighted to see Breeze Airways expanding its offerings with nonstop options to three popular New England destinations,” TPA CEO Joe Lopano said. “With 11 routes now in service from TPA to cities across America, Breeze continues to be a valued airline partner dedicated to excellent service for our travelers.”

Breeze will offer its signature “Nice,” “Nicer,” “Nicest” fare pricing, with introductory fares as low as $39 one way for reservations purchased by Feb. 20 for travel by Sept. 5.

The airline also is currently offering discounted fares on its eight other existing routes from TPA.

“Here we grow again,” Breeze Airways President Tom Doxey said. “We always look for routes that people are traveling today but can’t get there nonstop.  Now Tampa Bay residents can get to Portland, Providence and Hartford twice as fast, for about half the price!”

Breeze will be boosting competition for popular routes, becoming the second airline offering nonstops in Providence behind Southwest, and the third carrier in the Hartford market after Southwest and JetBlue.

The Portland route, which is a new destination for Breeze, marks a return of nonstop service between TPA and Maine’s largest city for the first time since April 2022.
