Spirit Airlines abruptly shut down after years of mismanagement, with Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings in 2024 and 2025, mass layoffs of about 14,000 employees, and chronically poor customer satisfaction — all culminating in a sudden winding-down announcement and the end of the ultra-low-cost model that once influenced the industry.
Breeze Airways, a rapidly growing low-cost carrier, has announced 11 new routes for the summer 2024 season, including three new airports. The expansion will feature seasonal flights to popular leisure destinations, operated on the airline's new Airbus A220-300 aircraft. Breeze is offering introductory fares as low as $39 on select routes, with bookings available until Jan. 29 for travel by Sept. 3.
Breeze Airways will introduce five new direct destination flights to the San Diego International Airport, including routes to Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Norfolk, Raleigh-Durham, and Pittsburgh, as well as daily one-stop flights to Providence and Hartford. Fares start at $129 one-way if purchased by Monday, and the airline is offering 35% off round-trip base fares for travel from Jan. 15 through May 22 with the promo code "GETFRESH." Breeze will operate these routes with Airbus A220-300 aircraft, offering bundled and a la carte options for travelers.
