Tampa airport lands new nonstop route to Southern California

Breeze Airways says it will add a new California destination to Tampa International Airport in May, when it begins nonstop service to Orange County, California.

The seasonal route to Santa Ana's John Wayne Airport will begin May 31 on Mondays and Fridays, Breeze says, and will connect the region to TPA's third-largest unserved market for the first time.

Orange County, the southern neighbor of Los Angeles County, has a population of more than 3 million. It is known for Disneyland, surfing and a number of other attractions, and serves as a home to several Fortune 500 companies, Breeze says.
