Apr. 23—Another travel option is on the table for Hudson Valley residents looking to escape New York this summer and beyond.
Breeze Airways is launching nonstop service to three U.S. cities from Westchester County Airport, located in White Plains, a short drive for mid- Hudson Valley residents.
The carrier, headquartered in Utah and founded by JetBlue and WestJet founder David Neeleman, will launch new routes this summer from Westchester to Charleston, South Carolina starting June 28, and to Norfolk, Virginia and Jacksonville, Florida starting June 30.
In September, Breeze will begin service to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Savannah, Georgia, followed by San Francisco flights starting Nov. 2.
The eight new routes establishes nonstop service from the New York hub to the south and west coast; flights out of Westchester currently only extend as far west as Chicago. American, Cape Air, Elite Airways, Delta, JetBlue, United and Tradewind Aviation also operate out of the lower Hudson Valley airport.
Breeze Airways is also expanding service at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut, launching flights to Las Vegas starting Sept. 7, the eighth new route for Breeze there.
New York Stewart International Airport is also gearing up for expanded flight options. Internationally, Play Airlines will begin service this summer, which is expected to be followed by Norse Atlantic Airways. Play launched its service from United States on April 20 with its inaugural transatlantic flight from Baltimore/Washington D.C. International Airport.
Frontier Airlines also is expanding service at Stewart in late May, adding flights to Atlanta and Raleigh-Durham.
