“We’re thrilled to officially welcome Breeze Airways to Albany International Airport,” said Sam Fresina, Chair of the Albany County Airport Authority Board of Directors. “This long-awaited addition to ALB’s air service options reflects our ongoing commitment to working with airlines to meet passenger demand and ensure that we’re making it easier for individuals to get to their destinations. These new flights will quickly connect our travelers to some of both North and South Carolina’s most popular destinations. We’re grateful for our new partnership with Breeze Airways and look forward to building upon today’s exciting announcement.”
“Today’s announcement underscores our airport’s continued growth and unwavering efforts to provide the nearly 3 million annual travelers at ALB with the best air service options possible,” said Peter Stuto, CEO at Albany International Airport. We’re grateful that Breeze will be providing low-cost and non-stop service to Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, but also to Charleston, South Carolina – an unserved route. Welcome to Albany, Breeze!”
“We continue to see high demand from our Guests in the Northeast for more travel options in the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond,” said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ founder and CEO. “We are excited to bring Breeze’s premium product offering to Albany with a variety of convenient travel options, including our first-class style Ascent seats and fast inflight WiFi.”
The news comes on the heels of Breeze’s January announcement celebrating its first full quarter of operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2024. The airline announced it achieved an operating margin of more than 4% in the fourth quarter thanks to strong demand for its unique business model, which brings direct air service to unserved and underserved secondary airports on its flagship fleet of Airbus A220 aircraft – one of the youngest, most efficient fleets in the industry. The airline estimates there are hundreds of additional routes in the U.S. alone that could benefit from its unique service, leaving ample room for its continued growth.
Breeze was recently named Startup Airline of the year by the Centre for Aviation (CAPA) and recognized as a Four-Star Low-Cost Carrier at the 2025 Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) Five-Star and Four-Star Airline Awards. The APEX Five- and Four-Star airlines represent the top 100 carriers in the world for passenger experience, with only eight percent of airlines worldwide achieving this status. Earlier this year, Breeze was ranked in the top five of Travel + Leisure’s “Best Domestic Airlines” for the third consecutive year.
Coupled with an elevated experience featuring premium seating options and high-speed WiFi on its fleet of brand-new Airbus A220-300 aircraft, Breeze is defining what it means to be “Seriously Nice” in an industry that has been anything but. Breeze offers both bundled and a la carte options so travelers can customize an experience that fits their needs. Breeze’s fare bundles feature full flexibility along with other add-ons such as bags, seats and inflight WiFi.
With seamless booking, no change or cancellation fees, up to 24-months of reusable flight credit, free family seating, a la carte pricing and customized flight features delivered via a sleek and simple app, Breeze makes it easy to buy and easy to fly.
