After the sudden closure of Spirit Airlines a week ago, other airlines like Breeze Airways and Avianca Airlines are stepping up to provide direct flights to Orlando International Airport.

Expanding Routes to Orlando

Both Avianca and Breeze have launched new routes that will offset some of the losses of the routes Spirit no longer supports. Breeze will now have a direct flight between Orlando and Atlantic City, New Jersey (and vice versa) daily.

“In 2021, Breeze took flight with a handful of routes and big plans to deliver affordable, elevated service between underserved cities. Launching service to the U.S. Virgin Islands on the cusp of our 5-year anniversary speaks to how far Breeze has come in that time,” said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways founder and CEO, in a press release. “Whether it’s a new destination like St. Thomas or making sure travelers in Atlantic City have affordable options, we’re continuing to grow where the demand is – and we’re just getting started.”

Per The Points Guy, Spirit Airlines used to service 99% of the flights in Atlantic City. These new routes will be firsts for Breeze at that particular airport destination.

Avianca Airlines is also hoping to expand its Orlando services. They hope to offer daily Orlando and Medellin, Colombia, flights year-round. This expansion is still pending governmental approval.
