Breeze Airways plans to launch two new routes that will bring additional commercial service to the Grand Junction Regional Airport.

The airline plans to offer nonstop service between Grand Junction and Las Vegas as well as one-stop service to Hartford, Conn. Both routes are scheduled to begin Jan. 9 with Thursday and Sunday flights.

Angela Padalecki, executive director of the Grand Junction Regional Airport, said she was grateful for the additional routes. “Las Vegas is our top city pair, with more travelers flying between Grand Junction and Las Vegas than anywhere else. Breeze’s new service will give travelers a nice, new option.”

David Neeleman, founder and chief executive officer of Breeze Airways, said the new routes will add to service the airline offers between Grand Junction and Orange County and Santa Ana in southern California as well as San Francisco. “We’re excited to offer our Grand Junction guests new opportunities for affordable, yet elevated, travel experiences.”

Based in Salt Lake City, Breeze Airways offers a total of more than 170 year-round and seasonal nonstop routes between a total of 56 cities in 29 states. Breeze focuses on service between secondary airports, bypassing hubs for shorter travel times. The company operates Airbus A220-300 and Embrarer 190-195 aircraft. Breeze Airways offers passengers bundled and a la cart options and no change or cancellation fees up to 15 minutes prior to departure. Breeze Airways has twice been recognized by readers of Travel + Leisure as one of the top five U.S. airlines.

Breeze Airways launched service at Grand Junction Regional Airport on Feb. 6 with flights between Grand Junction and Orange County and Santa Ana in southern California as well as flights between Grand Junction and Provo, Utah. Breeze added seasonal service between Grand Junction and San Francisco on May 22.
