Breeze Airways is expanding its footprint in Florida.
The Provo, Utah-based low-cost carrier announced three new nonstop routes Tuesday. Each will touch one of its operating bases in the Sunshine State.
Two of the new routes involve flights to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) near Fort Myers, where Breeze is set to open its newest base later this year.

Breeze's new Islip route to Fort Myers will give the carrier a fourth nonstop destination from New York's Long Island come October. The airline already flies nonstop to Charleston International Airport (CHS) in South Carolina, Norfolk International Airport (ORF) in Virginia and Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) in North Carolina.
