Breeze Airways lands at Dulles with nonstops to smaller markets

By Jeff Clabaugh

Startup low-cost airline Breeze Airways will begin nonstop service from Dulles Airport to four smaller destinations this fall.

Breeze will offer flights from Dulles to Provo, Utah; South Bend, Indiana; Vero Beach, Florida; and Ogdensburg in New York — which is in upstate New York on the Canadian border.

Those will be the only nonstops from Dulles to those smaller markets.

The Ogdensburg flights will be daily starting Sept 27. Provo flights will be three times a week starting Oct. 1. Flights to South Bend will be twice a week starting Nov. 8, and flights to Vero Beach will be twice a week starting Nov. 21.

Breeze is advertising inaugural fares on those routes as low as $30 each way.

“With these new flights, Dulles will reinforce its position as the airport with the most nonstop destinations of any airport in the region,” said Paul Bobson, vice president for airline business development with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.

Breeze, founded by David Neeleman who has been involved in the launch of five airlines including JetBlue, launched in 2021 with service to 16 U.S. destinations. It now flies nonstop routes, both year-round and seasonal, between 66 cities in 30 states. It operates a fleet of Embraer 190 and 195 commuter jets, as well as Airbus A220-300 aircraft.

Breeze will be the 45th airline serving Dulles Airport.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
