Breeze Airways has announced the addition of two new destinations from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. These routes will connect travelers to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Portland, Maine, expanding the airline’s service network from this growing market.

The new nonstop flights to Pittsburgh will operate on Mondays and Fridays, starting in July. Meanwhile, service to Portland will be offered through Breeze Airways’ BreezeThru one-stop, no plane change option beginning early July.

In addition to the new destinations, Breeze Airways will expand existing service routes. These include increasing flights to Akron-Canton, Ohio, to a daily schedule beginning July. Fort Lauderdale, Florida, flights will jump to six times per week, while New York’s Long Island MacArthur Airport (Islip) will see service raised to four flights weekly, on select weekdays.
