Atlantic City Airport Could Match Spirit Routes As Breeze Adds Service

WASHINGTON, DC — Atlantic City International Airport is seeing a broader push for air service as Congressman Jeff Van Drew met with senior officials from Breeze Airways to discuss the airline's growing presence there and plans to expand travel options for New Jersey passengers.

According to the announcement, the meeting focused on Breeze's service at the Atlantic City airport and the carrier's plans for additional routes. Van Drew said the expansion could restore service previously offered by Spirit while also adding destinations that were not part of Spirit's lineup.

"Breeze Airways is stepping up to expand service in Atlantic City in a big way," said Van Drew. "By the end of the year, we expect every route previously offered by Spirit out of Atlantic City to be served, while also adding brand new destinations that Spirit did not provide. They are ready, willing, and well-positioned to support travel to and from South Jersey. I have been working for years to strengthen the Atlantic City International Airport by bringing in major investments and constantly working to improve its infrastructure. The airport has a bright future, and this expansion is just another sign that airlines see the potential here. I am proud to work with Breeze Airways on this, and I look forward to affordable, convenient air travel continuing to grow for the people of South Jersey."

Breeze Chief Commercial Officer Lukas Johnson said the airline has already seen a strong response from travelers in the region. He said Breeze has announced a large number of routes before beginning service because demand from the Atlantic City area was evident early on.

"We are incredibly pleased with the response we've seen from the community in Atlantic City. It's rare for us to announce so many new routes before ever beginning service, but in this case, the demand for Breeze's high-value, low-cost service was clear from the start," said Lukas Johnson, Chief Commercial Officer at Breeze Airways. "With seven nonstop destinations now operating or available for sale - and with more on the way soon - Breeze offers more destinations from ACY than any other carrier, and we're grateful to our partners in New Jersey for making it possible."
