Breeze currently serves five destinations from Richmond, including: Charleston, SC; Las Vegas, NV; New Orleans, LA; San Francisco, CA; and Tampa, FL.
“With Breeze announcing nonstop service to Phoenix from Richmond International Airport (RIC) starting in February, a great strategic partner again supports the Airport’s mission of moving people, business, and commerce to advance the Richmond Region,” said Perry J. Miller, A.A.E., I.A.P., president and CEO of the Capital Region Airport Commission. “Prior to today, Phoenix was our second-largest unserved market, thus it is with great excitement we welcome this news on behalf of our customers and stakeholders.”
“We always look forward to providing more convenient and affordable service for our Richmond Guests,” said Tom Doxey, Breeze Airways’ President. “This new route will give our Guests a faster, more convenient way to Arizona.”
