Breeze adds 5 routes to summer schedule, with a big focus on Myrtle Beach

Breeze Airways is bolstering its summer schedule. The Provo, Utah-based ultra-low-cost carrier on Tuesday announced five new routes launching this summer — each of which will touch a warm-weather, leisure destination on the East Coast.
Breeze is adding three new routes to Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) in South Carolina, a popular summer beach destination.

Additionally, Breeze announced on Wednesday added capacity on a couple of new routes and announced the resumption of some summer seasonal flying.
