“We’re excited our partner Breeze Airways has elected to increase convenient, direct access to the Research Triangle of North Carolina with this new nonstop flight,” Jason Terreri, executive director of the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA), said in a Breeze news release. “We are confident this nonstop flight will not only serve as a pivotal travel solution for Syracuse University (SU) fans but also foster a stronger sense of camaraderie among Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) enthusiasts. It’s a new era for Orange travel, and we look forward to witnessing the tremendous impact this direct route will have on the SU fan experience and their engagement with ACC teams in the RDU vicinity.”
ACC member schools Duke, North Carolina, and NC State are all located in the Raleigh–Durham metro area.
Breeze says it’s offering fares for one-way travel starting from $59 if booked by Feb. 5 for travel by Sept. 3.
“We are always on the lookout for new opportunities, and we think this new route to Raleigh-Durham will be a hit for our Guests in Syracuse,” Tom Doxey, president of Breeze Airways, said in the release.
