Breeze Airways
U.S. Representative Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd, stated on Thursday that Breeze Airways is growing to include the flights that were dropped at Atlantic City International Airport after Spirit Airlines failed last month. After failing to reach a deal on a government bailout, Spirit shut down on May 2. At Atlantic City International, the airline was a significant commercial carrier. Spirit blamed recent spikes in oil prices and other pressures for the suspension. In June 1992, Spirit started operating flights from Atlantic City, connecting the airport to locations in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Florida.
