Breeze Airways, an airline less than 4 years old that began with three destinations out of the region, chose Southwest Florida International Airport as a new base of operations.

The plan will create dozens of jobs for the area and at least 26 flight destinations.

“A base means that we’re keeping aircraft here,” said Brian McCormick, Breeze’s director of airport properties and facilities. “Basing it overnight. With that comes the additional team that needs to be here to support that aircraft. We’re hiring in-flight crews and pilots. Those crews will be based out of Fort Myers.

“We are committed to this area for future growth. It’s going to be an important base for us.”
