Long Beach Airport (LGB) is excited to announce the addition of Breeze
Airways, a new airline set to start service from LGB this fall.Breeze
is a new Utah-based airline that offers nonstop service between
underserved routes across the United States. The company, with a fleet
of Airbus 220-300, Embraer 190 and Embraer 195 aircraft, first launched
in May 2021 with a flight from Tampa International Airport to
Charleston International Airport. The destination for Breeze Airways’
service to and from Long Beach has not yet been announced. “It’s
no secret—airlines and travelers know that Long Beach is the coolest
and most convenient gateway to Southern California,” said Long Beach
Airport Director Cynthia Guidry. “Our airport is in a strong position
to retain and attract airlines such as Breeze Airways that connect our
great city to visitors and new, exciting destinations.”
The
new carrier will be joining American Airlines, Delta Air Lines,
Hawaiian Airlines and Southwest Airlines already offering passenger
service at LGB. Breeze was awarded one of two available permanent flight
slots at LGB this month after those slots were relinquished by Delta
on April 19, 2022. Southwest was awarded the other remaining slot to
enhance its service at Long Beach Airport.
