Breeze Airways is expanding its footprint in the U.S. airline market with a new nonstop service connecting Daytona Beach, Florida, to Akron-Canton, Ohio. The new route, set to launch on September 3, 2025, offers a low-cost and convenient option for travelers, with one-way fares starting from just $49.
Operating twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays, this new service marks Breeze Airways’ fifth nonstop route from Daytona Beach, enhancing the variety of destinations available from the Florida city. More significantly, this route will be the first nonstop connection between Daytona Beach and the Midwest, opening new travel options for residents and visitors in both regions.
For years, Daytona Beach residents had limited options for direct flights to the Midwest, particularly Akron-Canton. This new route directly addresses that need, offering both leisure travelers, families, and business professionals a quick and affordable travel option to Ohio. With this new connection, Breeze Airways is not only offering a practical solution for Florida residents but also enhancing options for travelers heading to Daytona Beach from Ohio.
The introduction of this route aligns with Breeze Airways’ broader strategy of linking underserved markets with affordable nonstop flights. Akron-Canton, located in northeastern Ohio, is rapidly growing as a hub for business and tourism, and this new nonstop service will make it easier for travelers to access the region directly from Florida.
Breeze Airways continues to make strides in strengthening its reputation as a low-cost carrier with premium service. Known for offering budget-friendly fares without sacrificing comfort, Breeze has quickly gained recognition in the industry. In fact, the airline was recently awarded “Startup Airline of the Year” by the Centre for Aviation and earned a prestigious Four-Star Low-Cost Carrier honor at the 2025 Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) Awards.
This route will likely appeal not only to vacationers and snowbirds traveling from northern states but also business travelers who need convenient, direct access to Akron-Canton for meetings and conferences. The timing of the launch also coincides with increased demand during the winter season, offering a seamless and affordable way for those heading to Florida for warmer weather to make the journey.
This Daytona Beach to Akron-Canton service represents another exciting step in Breeze Airways’ growth as it continues to revolutionize low-cost air travel in the U.S., offering greater connectivity between regions and bringing new opportunities for both tourism and business exchanges.
