Breeze Airways will start offering nonstop service from South Bend to Washington Dulles International Airport, Orlando and Fort Myers.
“Washington D.C. has been one of our targeted destinations as there is considerable demand from our region,” said Mike Daigle, South Bend International Airport CEO and executive director, in a press release.
Indiana Secretary of Commerce David Rosenberg said the expanded airline services in South Bend is an example of the growth across the state. He highlighted the importance of transit opportunities to and from communities like South Bend to keep pace with increasing demand.
“South Bend has never seen service to Washington Dulles and connecting the city with the nation’s capital will no doubt be a positive impact for the community,” David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ founder and CEO, said. “This new route will allow the community to more affordably and conveniently travel right from their own backyard.”
Breeze Airways began service in May 2021. Founded by aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman, Breeze Airways focuses on providing efficient and affordable flights between secondary airports, bypassing hubs for shorter travel times. The airline offers a mix of over 170 year-round and seasonal nonstop routes between 66 cities in 30 states.
