Washington, D.C. – Breeze Airways, the premium leisure low-cost carrier offering affordable nonstop service across the U.S., yesterday was awarded its first Essential Air Service contract that will connect Ogdensburg, NY with Washington Dulles daily, a city pair that hasn’t been served since 2022.
Service will start September 27 with fares from $45* one-way. Washington Dulles and Ogdensburg will be the airline’s 65th and 66th cities added to its nationwide network.
Also, Breeze will be adding three previously unserved routes from the nation’s capital, including Salt Lake City-Provo, UT; South Bend, IN; and Vero Beach, FL. These airports have never had regular service to the greater Washington DC metro area.
From Ogdensburg, NY to:
- Washington Dulles, VA (Daily, starting September 27, one way from $45*).
From Washington Dulles, VA to:

- South Bend, IN (Monday and Friday, starting November 8, one way from $49*); and

“We are excited for Breeze Airways to become the 45th airline at Washington Dulles International,” said Paul Bobson, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority vice president for airline business development. “Breeze will give local travelers access to three previously unserved markets from the Washington, D.C., region while bringing nonstop service back to upstate New York. With these new flights, Dulles will reinforce its position as the airport with the most nonstop destinations of any airport in the region.”
“It’s official Breeze is landing in Ogdensburg! Breeze expanding its service in the North Country with flights between Ogdensburg and DC is great news for Breeze and the North Country,” said Senator Chuck Schumer of New York. “I fought to secure an increase in funding for the Essential Air Service Program in this year’s FAA bill because I know how important it is for our smaller communities to stay connected to a key hub and the national travel network. This decision is a win-win-win for Breeze, Ogdensburg, and the North Country’s economy. Ogdensburg International Airport is a gateway for commerce, tourism, and travel for North Country residents, and the sky is the limit for Breeze and Ogdensburg!”
“As we connect more unserved city pairs, Breeze is expanding its premium leisure low cost product to more communities,” said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ Founder and CEO. “With a great Guest experience, including elevated seating options and fast WiFi, and added affordability, Breeze is allowing Guests to more conveniently travel to markets they’ve never seen with nonstop service. These new routes to Dulles will be a huge boost not only for our network, but for Ogdensburg, Provo, South Bend, and Vero Beach.”
Breeze, which was recently ranked in the top five of Travel + Leisure’s “Best Domestic Airlines” for the third year in a row, began selling service from just 16 cities in May 2021. Since then, the airline has seen tremendous demand for its “Nice Low-Cost Carrier” business model that marries efficiency and affordability with comfort and accessibility.
Coupled with an elevated experience featuring premium seating options and high-speed WiFi on its fleet of brand-new Airbus A220-300 aircraft, Breeze is defining what it means to be “Seriously Nice” in an industry that has been anything but. Breeze offers both bundled and a la carte options so travelers can customize an experience that fits their needs. Breeze’s fare bundles feature full flexibility along with other add-ons such as bags, seats, and inflight WiFi.
Breeze doesn’t charge change or cancellation fees up to 60 minutes prior to departure and offers other benefits such as free family seating and a la carte pricing. With seamless booking, no change or cancellation fees, up to 24-months of reusable flight credit and customized flight features delivered via a sleek and simple app, Breeze makes it easy to buy and easy to fly.
