Akron-Canton, OH (February 14, 2023) – Breeze Airways, the newest, nicest low-fare airline, is adding Norfolk, VA, as a new summer seasonal destination from Akron-Canton Airport, from June 1 through September 5, 2023.  The new route is now on sale at an introductory fare of $39* one way.  Breeze currently offers 143 nonstop routes between 35 cities in 21 states nationally.

“Today is an exciting day as we announce nice, new service to Norfolk, VA (ORF), a unique nonstop destination from Northeast Ohio,” said Ren Camacho, Akron-Canton Airport President and CEO. “We are thrilled to offer additional low fare options to our customers as Breeze Airways expands their nonstop network at CAK.”

In addition to adding new, nonstop service to Norfolk, Breeze is also adding additional frequency to Orlando (MCO) from CAK this summer.

“Here we grow again,” said Tom Doxey, Breeze Airways’ President. “We always look for routes that people are traveling today but can’t get there nonstop. Akron and Canton area residents can now get to Norfolk twice as fast, for about half the price!”

Guests on Breeze may choose from three fare bundles that are offered as ‘Nice’, ‘Nicer’, and ‘Nicest’. Nicest bundles are only available on flights operated with Airbus A220 aircraft.

From Akron-Canton, OH (CAK): 

• Norfolk, VA (Thurs and Sun, starting June 1 through September 5, Nice from $39* one way; Nicer from $79*). 

In addition, Breeze has seven existing routes on sale for travel through March, starting at $37* one way from CAK:

• Charleston, SC (from $40** thru 3/7, or from $49*** from 3/22-31); 
• Las Vegas, NV (from $99** thru 3/7, or from $104*** from 3/22-31); 
• Nashville, TN (from $37** thru 3/7, or from $43*** from 3/22-31); 
• New Orleans, LA (from $49** thru 3/7);

• Tampa, FL (from $49** thru 3/7, or from $59*** from 3/22-31);

First Class seats feature 39 inches of seat pitch, 20.5 inches of seat width, and special features including a footrest for added comfort, and in-seat AC power and USB/C ports.

Guests also have an a la carte option where they can choose a ‘Nice’ or ‘Nicer’ bundle and add a First Class seat as well. Breeze has ordered 80 brand new Airbus A220-300 aircraft, with options for 40 more.
