Breeze Airways, a leisure airline carrier with affordable direct flights, announced two new nonstop routes from Pensacola International Airport (PNS) to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, (FLL) and San Antonio, Texas, (SAT).

“San Antonio and Fort Lauderdale are great destinations for our guests looking to explore the River Walk, see The Almo or enjoy the beach,” David Neeleman, founder and CEO of Breeze Airways, said. “These routes are a great addition to our network in Pensacola, and we look forward to kicking off these new flights this summer.”

Starting Jan. 28, tickets are available for Fort Lauderdale nonstop flights, which will run on Thursdays and Sundays starting May 7. Tickets are also available for purchase to San Antonio’s nonstop route, which will fly on Wednesdays and Saturdays starting June 10.

“We are delighted that Breeze continues their growth at Pensacola adding new nonstop service to our fourth largest market in Fort Lauderdale and an all-new destination in San Antonio. This new service supports the growth of area business, tourism and military travel as well as giving Pensacola residents two great markets to travel,” Matt Coughlin, executive director of Pensacola International Airport, said. “This will be Breeze’s 6th and 7th nonstop market at PNS including now 3 important intra-Florida markets since they started service in June 2024.”
