The Salt Lake City-based low-cost carrier on Thursday announced it will launch nonstop service from a new airport in the Tar Heel State: Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO), which serves the Greensboro and Winston-Salem area.
Breeze’s Greensboro service will take flight June 6, right as the summer travel season kicks into full swing.
Breeze's new Greensboro flights
From the outset, the carrier will serve the Piedmont Triad region with two nonstop destinations:
- GSO to Orlando International Airport (MCO) with two weekly round-trip flights on Mondays and Fridays.
- GSO to Hartford’s Bradley International Airport (BDL), also with two weekly round trips on Mondays and Fridays. This will be a seasonal route, operating during the summer months.
Both routes will launch June 6.

Doubling down on North Carolina
Adding Greensboro gives Breeze, which launched service in 2021, its 69th city nationwide.
It’s also just the latest expansion for the startup carrier in central North Carolina: Breeze has been in the midst of a growth spurt at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), which sits about 80 miles east of GSO.
During the first half of 2025, Breeze was set to grow its total seats flown out of RDU by 123% versus the same period last year, according to data from aviation analytics firm Cirium.
“We continue to see massive growth in the Mid-Atlantic region and are excited to welcome Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) to our growing list of cities that Breeze serves in the region,” Lukas Johnson, Breeze's chief commercial officer, said in a statement Thursday.
With Breeze’s two routes out of Greensboro, the carrier will serve Orlando, always a popular vacation destination, and Hartford, where it already has a sizable footprint.
The addition of Breeze will give GSO its fifth commercial airline. American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and Allegiant Air currently serve the airport.
Breeze will not face direct competition on either of its GSO routes, though Allegiant does fly nonstop from GSO to Orlando's secondary airport, Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB).

Bolstering Orlando flights
In addition to adding a new city Thursday, Breeze also announced it’ll double its twice-weekly Orlando service from two East Coast airports for the summer season.
Starting June 4, Breeze will fly four weekly round trips (instead of two) between MCO and Maine’s Portland International Jetport (PWM). Flights will run on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
As for its MCO service to Lancaster Airport (LNS) in Pennsylvania, that will run on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays beginning June 6.
