Breeze Airways is making a record commitment to Rhode Island International Airport.

 

Breeze, the three-year-old airline founded by arguably the industry's most successful CEO, David Neeleman, is expanding its presence at the airport to a record level.

Neeleman has founded five commercial airlines: Morris Air, WestJet, JetBlue Airways, Azul Brazilian Airlines, and Breeze Airways. Along with Humberto Pedrosa and Aigle Azur, he owned 45% of another commercial airline in Europe, TAP Air Portugal.

Now, under the new agreement, Breeze will be basing 12 planes at PVD — more than twice as many airplanes that have ever been based at the airport in its history.

In addition, the number of destinations Breeze flies to will grow to 35.

In 2017, the airport had only 17 direct flights, which was the cumulative number of all the airlines.

 

Boost to the Economy

The number of Breeze employees located in Rhode Island will jump from 205 to 400.

And Breeze’s annual passenger count will jump from 278,000 to an estimated one million.

The announcement is another win for Rhode Island Airport Corporation, led by CEO Iftikhar Ahmad and board chair Jonathan Savage, who have overseen a transformation of PVD.

Two weeks ago, JetBlue announced a major expansion of service to Puerto Rico. This will include daily nonstop flights from Rhode Island International Airport to San Juan beginning on October 27, 2024.

JetBlue announced significant network enhancements that reaffirm its position as the largest carrier in Puerto Rico. This expansion includes the addition of six new destinations from San Juan – one of JetBlue’s most successful focus cities – enhancing connectivity and offering more choices to customers, which is a groundbreaking move for the island.

"JetBlue has been a proud part of the Puerto Rican community for over twenty years, and we're excited to deepen our roots with this expansion," said Marty St. George, president of JetBlue. “Our decades-long history with this vibrant community drives our enthusiasm to not only increase our service but also to strengthen our relationships and presence in the region. We are excited to continue growing alongside the Puerto Rican community, ensuring that JetBlue remains a key partner in connecting the people of Puerto Rico."
