"Whether it's customers in the Northeast looking for a warm getaway or Floridians traveling north, we're excited to bring more choices and better service to these markets."
Introductory one-way fares start at $69, but travelers must book their flight by Aug. 17.
Before Thursday's announcement, Breeze Airways had been the only airline to currently fly to the Treasure Coast.
