“We’re thrilled to add our third airport in North Carolina as we debut our service from Wilmington,” said Trent Porter, Chief Financial Officer for Breeze Airways. “These four new destinations will give the community great travel options to the Northeast and Florida.”
Breeze was recently named Startup Airline of the Year by the Centre for Aviation (CAPA) and recognized as a Four-Star Low-Cost Carrier at the 2025 Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) Five-Star and Four-Star Airline Awards.
