WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) applauded the announcement made by Governor Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) that Breeze Airways will connect West Virginia International Yeager Airport (CRW) with new nonstop flights to Orlando, Fla. (MCO) and Charleston, S.C. (CHS) beginning May 31, 2023 with a possibility of three additional destinations within the next two years.
“The partnership between Breeze Airways and Yeager Airport is wonderful news, and shows that West Virginia is a destination that can further compete in the airline market. When travel options declined at Yeager earlier this year, I personally spoke with leaders at the airport and Breeze to explore opportunities, and I am pleased this partnership has come as a result. I will continue to work with all individuals involved to grow this partnership with the goal of increasing air travel opportunities for our state, our residents, and those who want to visit the Mountain State,” Senator Capito said.
