Packing for palm trees just got easier and cheaper for North Alabama travelers.<\/p>\n
Breeze Airways will begin offering nonstop flights from Huntsville International Airport to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport starting June 12, with fares beginning at $39 one way.<\/p>\n
The new route will operate twice weekly, with flights on Fridays and Mondays, giving Huntsville travelers a direct connection to South Florida\u2019s beaches, cruise ports and attractions.<\/p>\n
Airport officials say the addition reflects continued growth in passenger demand and strengthens Huntsville International Airport\u2019s role as a key regional travel hub.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe addition of nonstop service to Fort Lauderdale demonstrates the momentum of the Huntsville market and the importance of continued investment in air service,\u201d said Butch Roberts, CEO of Huntsville International Airport. \u201cOur North Alabama travelers will enjoy greater connectivity and convenience to South Florida than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is a popular choice for travelers heading to South Florida, offering close proximity to one of the world\u2019s busiest cruise ports and serving as a less-crowded alternative to Miami International Airport.<\/p>\n
Breeze Airways founder and CEO David Neeleman said the new route expands convenient travel options for Huntsville passengers looking to visit Florida.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur guests in Huntsville now have another great destination in Florida to visit, making it more convenient than ever to visit the Sunshine State,\u201d Neeleman said. \u201cThe greater Fort Lauderdale region has a lot to offer travelers, and we can\u2019t wait to launch this new destination in June.\u201d<\/p>\n
Passengers on the new route will fly aboard Breeze\u2019s Airbus A220 aircraft. Breeze was one of the first airlines to launch service in Huntsville when it began operations in 2021 and currently offers nonstop flights from HSV to Las Vegas, Orlando and Tampa.<\/p>\n
\u201cBreeze has developed a strong following in the Huntsville market, and this new service to Fort Lauderdale will be especially exciting for our many customers who already enjoy flying with the airline,\u201d said Barbie Peek, chief business development director of Huntsville International Airport. \u201cAdding Fort Lauderdale builds on the airline\u2019s popularity in our region and expands the destinations available to customers who have become loyal Breeze flyers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Packing for palm trees just got easier and cheaper for North Alabama travelers.
