Breeze Airways announced its first flights beyond the U.S., with nonstop service from Charleston International (CHS) to Cancun International Airport (CUN).
The new route begins Jan. 17, 2026, with flights operating once a week.
It’s a historic first for Breeze and for Charleston: the airline’s first international destination, and Charleston’s inaugural nonstop connection to the Caribbean.
“We are proud to partner with Breeze Airways on this incredible milestone,” said Elliott Summey, president and CEO of Charleston International Airport. “This new international route not only strengthens Charleston’s connectivity to one of the most popular leisure destinations but also supports our local economy by creating new opportunities for tourism, hospitality, and business travel.”
“Charleston was one of our original launch cities and we’re excited to once again include the community in the launch of our first international flights next year,” said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ founder and CEO.
Neeleman added, “This new route to Cancun will be the third international route from CHS, and we know the community will enjoy the convenient and nonstop service to this beautiful, tropical destination.”
“Charleston International Airport has proudly been a part of the Breeze Airways’ story since the carrier’s inception and inaugural service in 2021. It’s an honor to build on that legacy as our partner launches international service,” said Helen Hill, president and CEO of Explore Charleston and chair of the Aviation Authority.
