Nonstop flights from RDU to Key West will take off in October, giving Triangle-area travelers convenient access to the Florida Keys for the first time. The route will be offered by Breeze Airways, the fastest-growing airline at RDU based on the number of routes added since they launched service. 

“In just two years, Breeze has evolved from a startup serving eight destinations at RDU to a rapidly expanding airline that connects the Research Triangle region with 28 cities,” said Michael Landguth, president and CEO of the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority. “It has been exciting to watch Breeze grow along with RDU, and we welcome the airline’s latest investment in the Raleigh-Durham market.”   

RDU also announced Breeze will launch nonstop flights to Manchester, New Hampshire, in November.  

“Raleigh-Durham is a growing region, and this growth has been reflected in Breeze’s expanded route offerings from RDU,” said Breeze Airways’ Chief Commercial Officer, Lukas Johnson. “We will now be offering 28 nonstop destinations from the Research Triangle, and we can’t wait to launch these two great destinations this fall.”  

Breeze will fly to Key West on Mondays and Fridays beginning Oct. 3 and to Manchester on Thursdays and Sundays starting Nov. 6. Both routes will operate on a 137-seat A220-300.
