Breeze Airways Adds 2 New Nonstop Routes from Charleston International to West Coast

(North Charleston) Breeze Airways’ biggest base is becoming bigger with the announcement of 2 new nonstop routes from Charleston to Phoenix, Arizona (PHX), and Los Angeles, California (LAX) this fall, bringing the total number of cities served from Charleston International Airport to 21.

The new routes from CHS include:
Phoenix, AZ
- 2x weekly
- Wednesday and Saturday
- Starting November 2

Los Angeles, CA
- 2x weekly
- Friday and Monday
- Starting November 4

Provo, UT
- 6x weekly
- Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
- Starting November 2

“This is a major milestone in delivering the first low cost, non-stop air service to Phoenix, said Elliott Summey, Airport Director and CEO. Service to both Phoenix and Los Angeles from Charleston International Airport has been a key strategic objective for Team CHS that will allow both business and leisure travelers convenient access to and from some of the most important airport gateways to the world.”

In addition to the two nonstop routes to PHX and LAX, Breeze will offer one-stop/no change of plane "BreezeThru" service from CHS to Provo, Utah (PVY) 6x weekly, and daily BreezeThru service between CHS and LAX, both starting Nov 2.

“These new western U.S. destinations are significant additions to our network and are examples of Breeze's continued commitment to - and investment in - the Charleston region. Research tells us the Lowcountry is a popular destination for west coast travelers. Phoenix has been a focus market for inbound and outbound service for several years, and we're excited to expand access for passengers traveling to and from California," said Helen Hill, CEO of Explore Charleston and Chair of the Aviation Authority.

Breeze plans to more than double its fleet this year, from 13 Embraer 190 and 195 aircraft to 30 aircraft, including 14 Airbus A220s and three additional Embraer E-jets. Breeze has ordered 80 new Airbus A220-300 aircraft, that will be delivered one per month over the next six years, with options for 40 more.
