- Breeze Airways plans new domestic routes from New York Stewart International.

- No direct Dublin service has been scheduled.
Breeze Airways has continued its domestic expansion at New York Stewart International Airport with plans for new routes including a twice-weekly service to Myrtle Beach from 28 May 2027. The airline has expressed interest in launching a direct service between Stewart International and Dublin Airport. Breeze has secured US Flag Carrier status from the FAA which clears the way for international expansion.
Breeze’s interest in Stewart aligns with its model of avoiding congested hubs like JFK and Newark. The Airbus A220-300 fleet offers efficiency for point-to-point long-haul routes from smaller airports. The launch timeline faces challenges due to passenger capacity caps at Dublin Airport which complicate slot allocations.
Breeze has expanded its domestic footprint in New York with new routes from Stewart, Albany, Syracuse and Buffalo. The airline receives new Airbus aircraft roughly every three weeks.
While no direct Dublin service has been officially scheduled by the airline, it has talked up the prospects of a Dublin route over the past three years in discussions. Stewart was previously served direct form Dublin by Norwegian, and served a s magnet for shoppers travelling to Newbury Common, even taking day trips on some occasions.
