Warwick, Rhode Island – Breeze Airways will launch a limited international flight route from T.F. Green International Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island, to Cancun, Mexico, starting on February 14, 2026. This weekly seasonal flight is part of an eight-week trial period and is pending final government approvals.
The introduction of this route marks a significant step as it brings direct international flights back to T.F. Green Airport for the first time since previous services were discontinued. The announcement is expected to generate considerable interest among leisure travelers looking for warm-weather getaways.
Breeze Airways has selected Cancun as its initial international destination because it is the largest market for East Coast travelers, according to the airline’s chief commercial officer. Additionally, Breeze plans to extend its international offerings from other locations to include Punta Cana and Montego Bay.
Travelers interested in this new route can start booking their tickets now, with expectations of high demand given the appeal of Cancun as a vacation spot. To facilitate this international endeavor, Breeze Airways recently received certification from the Federal Aviation Administration, allowing them to operate international flights.
This development has been welcomed by airport officials, who see it as an indicator of growth and an expansion of travel options for the community. The president and CEO of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation expressed that these flights underscore T.F. Green’s capability to attract and service international travelers.
Since its inception in 2021, Breeze Airways has made significant strides at T.F. Green Airport, currently offering 21 non-stop destinations. The airline served over 500,000 passengers last year and has ambitious plans to double its presence at T.F. Green by 2029, with the goal of adding flights to three more international or U.S. territory locations.
While the long-term viability of international flights from T.F. Green has faced challenges in the past, this trial run to Cancun offers a new opportunity. Previous attempts at international service included Norwegian Air, which operated flights in 2017 but ceased operations in 2019 due to commercial viability concerns. Additionally, a brief service offered by BermudAir in 2023 was also short-lived.
The Cancun route will be a test of the international market from T.F. Green, with the trial period scheduled to conclude in mid-April 2026. Airport officials are encouraging prospective travelers to book early to secure their seats, anticipating that the demand for this service will quickly rise.
Breeze Airways has worked diligently to establish T.F. Green as a key hub for travelers since launching operations in the area. With a loyal customer base, the airline’s growth strategy aligns with the increasing need for diverse travel options available to and from Rhode Island.
