“Breeze starting service at Daytona Beach International Airport is beyond ‘NICE’,” said Airport Director Karen Feaster. “Our air service development team has been talking with the route planners at Breeze for more than two years, continually building relationships and now we can celebrate a huge air service win for our community and welcome even more visitors to our beautiful destination.”
“We have continued to see opportunities for growth on Florida’s eastern coast, and that’s evident by this announcement of four nonstop routes from Daytona Beach,” said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ Founder and CEO. “These great destinations will give the community more affordable, yet elevated travel options.”
Volusia County’s Aviation and Economic Resources Director Cyrus Callum said not only do additional flights add enhanced travel options and the entire travel experience at DAB, but there is also a major economic impact to the Daytona Beach region.
“These four additional flights will result in an annual economic impact to the region, of more than $21 million a year,” said Callum.
“In 2023, DAB’s annual economic impact was measured at $3.2 billion according to an annual study by the Florida Department of Transportation. Each time more flights are added that impact grows exponentially which benefits the entire community.”
In addition to Breeze Airways, DAB is also served by Avelo Airlines, which began service in June of 2023, and legacy carriers American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, which have served the airport for 15 and 44 years, respectively.
