New BWI airline set to launch in October
Breeze Airways announced plans to commence flight service at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport in October, Maryland Aviation Administration officials said in a release Wednesday.
The new airline will introduce nonstop flights to Burlington, Vermont and Vero Beach, Florida. According to a release, Breeze will provide additional travel choices for passengers while seeking to enhance BWI Airport’s expanding network of destinations.
Breeze roundtrip service to Vero Beach will begin Oct. 1 and roundtrip service to the New England town of Burlington will launch Oct. 4, according to state officials. Both Breeze flights will operate three times per week on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.
