Airline entrepreneur David Neeleman’s newest carrier will begin flying May 27 with an initial network of 16 cities, making it the year’s second U.S. startup looking to use discount fares to grab a piece of a much-anticipated resurgence in leisure travel.
Breeze Airways started selling tickets Friday, and the first flights will connect Charleston, South Carolina; Tampa, Florida; and Hartford, Connecticut, according to a company statement. Fares start at $39 one way, and destinations will be added weekly through July 22 until the carrier reaches 39 routes.
