May 29, 2026

Third new route on Breeze along with Los Angeles, Pittsburgh

Breeze Airways today launched new, nonstop service between Hartford, CT (BDL) and the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF), providing even more travel options for passengers and expanded connectivity to the Northeast.

The new route links Louisville directly with the Hartford region, a key gateway to New England known for its historic attractions, vibrant communities and outdoor recreation opportunities. Conveniently located between Boston and New York City, the Hartford metropolitan area is home to more than three million residents, making it the largest population center in the eastern United States previously without nonstop service from Louisville. The new service also creates a more convenient connection for New England travelers looking to take advantage of the region’s signature Southern hospitality as well as experience Louisville’s renowned bourbon culture, celebrated local dining scene and world-class attractions.

“Today’s flight marks the third time in recent weeks we are celebrating a new route on Breeze at SDF following the start of service to Los Angeles and Pittsburgh,” said Dan Mann, Executive Director of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority, which owns and operates Louisville’s airport. “This new nonstop connection to Hartford gives our region’s travelers easier access to New England while demonstrating Breeze’s continued investment and confidence in the Louisville market. Breeze has been a great partner in expanding options for the community.”

Breeze has quickly become known for offering affordable, premium leisure travel with a focus on underserved routes and convenient nonstop service between secondary markets. The airline’s modern fleet of Airbus A220-300 coupled with its flexible fare options and Nice, Nicer and Nicest fare bundles continue to make air travel more accessible for travelers across the country.

The new Hartford service further strengthens Breeze’s growing presence at SDF while enhancing Louisville’s connectivity to major population centers throughout the country. In addition to Hartford, Breeze now offers nonstop service to nine cities from SDF including Charleston, Fort Myers, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Raleigh/Durham, San Francisco and Tampa.
