New service to Fort Myers, Sarasota and Jacksonville begin this summer, as David Neeleman’s latest airline venture really takes off.

Neeleman is a self-confessed fan of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, but continues to maintain a strong relationship with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, whose engagement with Neeleman at his various stops in the industry have benefited New York state (no coincidence Syracuse is a new Breeze destination, Schumer played a big role in that I am told).

The goal of Breeze per Neeleman is to provide low-cost service to underserved cities in the US.

Breeze already serves Tampa and West Palm Beach in the state.

Otherwise this week in commercial aviation, Frontier will launch new service from Tampa to Cancun this summer.
