NEW ORLEANS, La. (September 25, 2025) – Breeze Airways, the premium leisure carrier providing affordable, direct flights from underserved markets, today announced it has been certified by the FAA as a U.S. Flag Carrier, making it the first airline in more than 10 years to undergo this rigorous evaluation process. In conjunction, the airline announced an international network expansion from New Orleans (MSY) with nonstop flights to Cancun, Mexico. The new seasonal service is scheduled to begin February 7, 2026, pending final government approvals.
Beginning today, travelers can book seasonal, nonstop, international flights from New Orleans to Cancun, Mexico on Saturdays from $99* one way.
“Congratulations to Breeze for expanding to international service with this new nonstop to Cancun,” said Kevin Dolliole, Director of Aviation for Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. “Having New Orleans selected as one of their inaugural cities for international service speaks volumes about New Orleans’ position as a premier destination and our airport’s growing connectivity. This new nonstop service to Cancun will provide our travelers with seamless access to one of Mexico’s most popular destinations. We look forward to supporting Breeze’s continued growth and success as they expand their footprint from New Orleans.”
“This expansion is an exciting milestone for Breeze and our Guests in New Orleans,” said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ founder and CEO. “This new route to Cancun not only brings new international service to our Guests, but also the introduction of our brand new A220-300 aircraft to the market. With added convenience and our diverse product offering, we know the community will enjoy this nonstop service.”
