A new airline has selected Richmond International Airport as one of the 16 inaugural airports it will serve, company and airport officials announced Friday.
Breeze Airways – founded by David Neeleman, who previously founded JetBlue, Brazil’s Azul, Canada’s WestJet, and Utah-based Morris Air (which was later purchased by Southwest Airlines) – will begin serving RIC July 8 with flights to and from Charleston, S.C.
Subsequent flights between Richmond and New Orleans will begin July 15, and those between Richmond and Tampa will start July 22.
“Being chosen for the historic launch of Breeze Airways means serious perks for RIC travelers, who will soon be able to enjoy nonstop flights to Charleston, New Orleans, and Tampa,” said Capital Region Airport Commission chair Patricia O’Bannon.
“Richmond International Airport looks forward to welcoming Breeze,” said Commission CEO and president Perry J. Miller. “Great news like this presents tremendous opportunities to the communities we serve, including competitive fares, easy access to more destinations, and the ability to readily invite friends and loved ones to see all that the Richmond Region has to offer.”
