Breeze Airways has announced a new nonstop flight between Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and Portsmouth International Airport (PSM), starting December 11, 2025. This move brings direct air service between North Carolina and New Hampshire’s seacoast, making travel easier for both business and leisure passengers.
The new route is part of Breeze Airways’ plan to connect cities that do not have many direct flights. Portsmouth is a growing airport serving the New Hampshire and southern Maine area, while RDU is a major airport for the Research Triangle region. Breeze Airways will be the only airline offering this nonstop flight, covering about 654 miles.
Key details for travelers:
– Start date: December 11, 2025
– Airline: Breeze Airways (exclusive carrier)
– Airports: RDU (North Carolina) and PSM (New Hampshire)
– Fares: Introductory one-way fares start at $231; round-trip fares from $446
– Booking: Available now on the Breeze Airways website, major travel sites, and airport counters
– Aircraft: Breeze usually uses Embraer E190/E195 or Airbus A220 planes, with both economy and premium seats
While the exact number of flights per week has not been announced, Breeze often starts new routes with two or three flights weekly. The schedule may increase if more people book tickets. Official flight times and days will be posted on the Breeze Airways website and airport sites as the launch date gets closer.
Why is this important?
Before this nonstop flight, travelers between North Carolina and the New England seacoast had to connect through larger airports like Boston or New York. This new route saves time and adds convenience, especially for people visiting family, going on vacation, or traveling for work.
Local officials and airport leaders are excited about the new service. They expect it will bring more visitors, help local businesses, and boost the economy in both regions. “This new route will make it easier for people to visit our area and for our residents to travel,” said a Portsmouth airport spokesperson.
Travel industry experts say Breeze Airways’ focus on direct flights between smaller cities is changing how airlines serve these markets. As reported by VisaVerge.com, this approach gives travelers more choices and can lead to better prices and service.

1. Go to the Breeze Airways website or use a trusted travel booking site.
