Breeze is building its presence in Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) with two New York routes and a range of underserved destinations. According to airline officials, the carrier has brought back the flight to Westchester County/White Plains (HPN), which was introduced in 2022, on a seasonal basis with the hope of making it a year-round route.
