“We truly appreciate Breeze Airways’ continued investment in service to our state and region as they expand their Rhode Island routes and base of operations at PVD,” said Iftikhar Ahmad, President and CEO of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation.  “These new routes, including Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport’s first regularly-scheduled nonstop flights to the West Coast, are welcome news for leisure and business travelers to and from our state.”

“As we approach our second birthday on May 27, it’s incredible that Breeze has grown to 16 from TF Green International in two years,” said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ Founder and CEO.  “We’re so grateful to the Providence community, and all of Rhode Island, for our fast success.   We look forward to continuing that growth!”

From Providence, Breeze also serves Charleston, SC; Cincinnati, OH; Columbus, OH; New Orleans, LA; Norfolk, VA; Orange County, CA; Pittsburgh, PA; Provo/Salt Lake City, UT; and Raleigh-Durham, NC.
