Starting in May, Breeze Airways plans to offer seasonal nonstop flights from Bangor International Airport to Raleigh-Durham, N.C., in the Tar Heel State’s Research Triangle.
The new route will operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays to one of the fastest-growing regions in the southeastern United States.
“We are excited to add Raleigh-Durham to our growing list of nonstop destinations,” said Jose Saavedra, Bangor International’s airport director and a Mainebiz 40 Under 40 honoree in 2025.
“Breeze has been a strong partner for Bangor, and this new service continues to expand the travel options available to our local community while strengthening ties between our regions,” he added.
While Breeze will halt nonstop service to Orlando, Fla., during the summer schedule, travelers will still be able to book trips to that city via a one-stop connection through Raleigh-Durham.
The airline has also confirmed that nonstop service to Orlando will return in September 2026.
Breeze Airways, founded in 2021 by aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman, operates more than 300 year-round and seasonal routes to 81 cities in the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean.
The carrier, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been flying out of Bangor International Airport since October 2024.
