The Utah-based low-cost carrier Breeze Airways will suspend service from the Mobile International Airport by the end of the month, the company said in a statement Friday.

Breeze had been the only commercial carrier operating flights from the downtown Mobile Airport.

Breeze Airways sees “a lot of promise in Mobile and the surrounding area,” according to the statement, but is offering no estimated timeline for resuming service from the airport. The suspension of service is effective on Jan. 31.

Breeze Airways began offering flights from Mobile to Orlando and Providence, R.I., in April. The company made their announcement about the new flights during a news conference from Mobile International Airport last January.

“We are working with our Guests who have been impacted by this change to issue full refunds or serve them from one of our nearby airports in the meantime,” the statement reads.

A spokesperson with the Mobile Airport Authority did not respond to a request for comment.

Breeze’s exit from the airport comes after Houston-based Avelo Airlines suspended its Orlando-based flights from the downtown Mobile airport in March 2024.

The airport is a temporary two-gate terminal that will be replaced later this year or early in 2026 with a new $381 million, five-gate commercial terminal that has the potential to expand to 12 gates.

The new commercial airport at the Brookley Aeroplex south of downtown Mobile will allow the Mobile Airport Authority to complete a swap of services from Mobile Regional Airport. Three legacy airlines — American Airlines, Delta, and United — will begin flying from Mobile International Airport once the new terminal opens.

Supporters of the airport swap, including city officials and the Mobile Airport Authority, say they believe having the new commercial airport closer to downtown will allow for greater expansion of destinations from Mobile, and more competitive fares.

Elliot Maise, chairman emeritus with the Mobile Airport Authority, recently told AL.com that Southwest Airlines is a No. 1 target. He also said he wants to bring in additional carriers to the new airport and is pushing to provide financial incentives to lure flights with competitive fares to the city.
