Breeze Airways Adds Flights From Sarasota Florida To Several East Coast Cities
US premium leisure low-cost carrier Breeze Airways is bringing back New York links to Florida's Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. The airline resumed nonstop service to Westchester, New York, on Halloween, with even more nonstop destinations launching in the next few months.
Back in Florida
Breeze is building its presence in Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) with two New York routes and a range of underserved destinations. According to airline officials, the carrier has brought back the flight to Westchester County/White Plains (HPN), which was introduced in 2022, on a seasonal basis with the hope of making it a year-round route.
What Are Breeze Airways' Top Routes This November?
The airline has scheduled more than 4,000 passenger flights this month.
Speaking to the Business Observer, an airline spokesperson confirmed the airline has "always" seen strong demand from Sarasota-Bradenton to Westchester County, with recent adjustments in the airline's network at SRQ making it easier to bring the route back. Rick Piccolo, President and CEO of the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, noted just how excited the airport is for the route to resume:
We are thrilled to see the resumption of nonstop service to Westchester County/White Plains, NY (HPN) on Breeze Airways. The Sarasota Bradenton International Airport is excited to support the continued expansion of nonstop destinations provided by Breeze and looks forward to welcoming visitors from the New York metropolitan area."
In addition to Westchester, Breeze will also add flights from Sarasota to Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) in Islip, among other destinations.
Where else is Breeze adding from Sarasota?
The New York flights join a range of new routes from the Florida airport. Later this month, the carrier will add flights to airports across the country. This includes a link to Syracuse that is part of the airline's BreezeThru service, which allows passengers to connect without having to change planes. The complete list of new routes can be found below:
From Sarasota-Bradenton, FL to:
- Westchester County-New York, NY (Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays).
- Akron-Canton, OH (Wednesdays and Saturdays, starting November 20th).
- Portland, ME (Wednesdays and Saturdays, beginning November 20th).
- Long Island-Islip, NY (Thursdays and Sundays, beginning November 21st).

- New Haven, CT (Mondays and Fridays, beginning February 7, 2025).
The routes are largely unserved, and the only link that faces competition is the spring route to New Haven (HVN), which is currently served by Avelo Airlines. Speaking on the announcement, David Neeleman, Breeze Airways' Founder and CEO, expressed his excitement for the flights to begin:
New York is a hugely popular getaway for Fall foliage and Breezes premium leisure service makes it more accessible than ever with nonstop service from just $69 each way, Were thrilled to bring back nonstop service to Westchester and eight other nonstops/BreezeThrus from Sarasota-Bradenton this Fall and Winter.
The routes are all scheduled to be operated by the carrier's fleet of Airbus A220 aircraft.
