Breeze Airways, the Seriously Nice™ new U.S. low-fare airline founded by aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman, is adding eight routes from Westchester this year, including nonstop service to Los Angeles, CA, San Francisco, CA, Las Vegas, NV, Charleston, SC, Norfolk, VA, Jacksonville, FL, and Savannah, GA – and one-stop, same plane service to New Orleans, LA.
Current commercial air service from Westchester only serves as far west as Chicago. With today’s announcement, the top two destinations from the New York metro area, Los Angeles and San Francisco, will now feature daily nonstop service from the heart of Westchester County. Breeze will add 6 of the 15 biggest markets currently not served nonstop from Westchester: Los Angeles (#1), Jacksonville (#3), Charleston (#8), San Francisco (#10), Las Vegas (#12) and Savannah (#13).
Separately, Breeze is also announcing new service between New Orleans to Savannah, plus Hartford’s Bradley International to Las Vegas, the airline’s 8th new route from Hartford announced this year now for a total of 11 nonstop destinations.
Westchester County Department of Public Works and Transportation Commissioner Hugh Greechan said: “This is exciting news for Westchester County residents who are eager to have convenient flights to the West Coast. We look forward to our residents flying with ease in a ‘nice’ environment.”

“Having lived so close to Westchester airport for many years, I wasted tons of time driving to JFK or Newark to travel to the west coast,” said Breeze’s Founder and CEO David Neeleman. “Now we’ll offer daily flights to the highest demand markets from New York, with the state-of-the-art Airbus A220 aircraft which pairs unrivaled comfort with 36 first class, 10 extra legroom and 80 standard seats – and half the noise footprint of past generations. There is literally no faster or more comfortable way to get from Westchester to the west coast.”
