Breeze Airways, a Utah-based airline, is adding nonstop flights from Lancaster Airport to Orlando on Thursdays and Sundays starting on Oct. 8. Fares for the twice-weekly flights are expected to start at $79 each way.
- Breeze plans to use Airbus A220-300 jets on the route, according to a spokesperson for the airline.
- Among the potential beneficiaries is the live-entertainment business community at Rock Lititz.
- Event production companies Clair Global and Tait, for instance, both have offices in Orlando.
- “Launching affordable, time-saving connectivity between Lititz, PA and Orlando, FL, with a low-cost airline will create opportunities for both Rock Lititz clients and its business community, blending creativity with accessibility,” Rock Lititz studio vice president Brent Dannen said in a statement.
The background: Breeze is now the second airline with flights out of the Lancaster airport, which is in Manheim Township.
- Florida-based Southern Airways Express operates flights from Lancaster to Pittsburgh International Airport and Washington/Dulles International Airport.
- American Airlines relies on a bus to transport passengers to Philadelphia’s airport.
