Breeze Airways announced on Monday its 12th nonstop route out of the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
Breeze Airways will launch a new direct flight to Tampa, Florida, starting June 1.
Flights will operate four times a week on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Breeze Airways will join Spirit Airlines and Southwest Airlines in offering nonstop flights from the New Orleans airport to the Tampa International Airport, near the popular beaches of Clearwater and St. Petersburg.
The airline was founded in 2021 by former JetBlue CEO David Neeleman as a low-cost, convenient option for domestic travel. It serves 70 U.S. cities across 31 states.
The new route comes shortly after Spirit Airlines announced a new international route from New Orleans to Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras, starting May 8. In its release, the airport said New Orleans has one of the largest Honduran populations outside of Honduras.
