Breeze Airways, an airline that provides direct flights to and from underserved markets, announced Jan. 28 two new nonstop routes from Atlantic City to Charleston, S.C., and Raleigh-Durham, N.C., as well as one-stop, no-change-of-plane BreezeThru service to Tampa, Fla. The new flights will begin in May and June with fares starting from $39 one way.
Breeze joins Allegiant and Spirit in regularly scheduled passenger service from Atlantic City.
“Atlantic City is not only a great destination for travelers, but also a gateway to many other metro areas,” said David Neeleman, founder and CEO of Breeze Airways. “We know Atlantic City will be a welcome addition to our guests in Charleston, Raleigh and Tampa.”
Beginning today, Atlantic City travelers can book flights on Breeze to:
- Charleston, S.C. (nonstop on Wednesdays and Saturdays starting May 6, from $49 one way);
- Raleigh-Durham, N.C. (nonstop on Thursdays and Sundays starting June 11, from $39 one way); and

The $39 No Flex Fare promotion is available only when booking a new reservation for ACY-RDU and RDU-ACY. The $49 No Flex Fare promotion is available only when booking a new reservation for ACY-CHS and CHS-ACY. Promotion must be purchased from Jan. 28 through Feb. 3. ACY-CHS and CHS-ACY promotion is valid only for travel from May 6 through Sept. 15. ACY-RDU and RDU-ACY promotion is valid only for travel from June 11 through Sept. 15.
The Breeze announcement underscores the growth of Atlantic City International Airport, which is in the midst of a growth phase, with new airlines and expanded routes. The airport is transitioning from a limited-service airport to a more competitive regional hub expected to increase regional connectivity and tourism and overall economic impact.
“The new routes give travelers from the southern New Jersey/Philadelphia region a more convenient access to two popular and growing destinations, whether they are flying for business, visiting family, or enjoying a weekend getaway,” said South Jersey Transportation Authority Executive Director, Stephen F. Dougherty.
“For an airport of our size, expanding service in a way that directly benefits our passengers is especially meaningful, and this announcement reflects our continued focus on delivering a simple, accessible, and customer-friendly travel experience.”
Breeze Airways operates more than 300 year-round and seasonal routes to 84 cities in the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean. Founded by aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman, Breeze began flying in May 2021.
