Gov of West VA Signs off on Breeze Routes.."We need airline Traffic!!"

Breeze Airways is ramping up capacity on a new route between West Virginia and Orlando (MCO) before it even launches the service, citing robust advance sales.


West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice last month revealed Breeze would begin serving West Virginia International Yeager Airport (CRW) in Charleston, West Virginia, with flights to both MCO and Charleston (CHS), South Carolina.


The routes were slated to be launched May 31, each operated 2X-weekly using Embraer E195 aircraft. Breeze says it will now launch the CRW-MCO service with a larger Airbus A220-300 aircraft configured with 137 seats and operate 4X-weekly flights through Aug. 15, after which frequencies will drop to 2X-weekly.

Flight ticket sales on the Yeager-Orlando route “have been one of the company’s strongest route launches to date,” Breeze says in a statement, pointing to “stronger than expected sales.”
The CRW-CHS route will still be flown 2X-weekly with an E195.
