The sold-out and nearly full flight for 108 people made its way over Utah Lake into San Francisco for the first stop of the day, acting as a “Breeze through” for passengers looking to continue on to San Bernardino.īy the time the plane landed at its mid-point in San Bernardino, Doxey was enjoying himself and looking to the future.
Just like that, it was time to take to the skies. Once the last of the passengers cam aboard, all that was left was the ceremonial spray-down of the plane from two Provo Fire Department trucks. As Kaufusi and Doxey cut the ceremonial ribbon, Brigham Young University mascot Cosmo the Cougar came aboard the plane, high-fiving passengers while being serenaded with the school’s fight song. The inaugural flight itself reflected the connection between the city and company. “This is by far the fastest way to get from Silicon Slopes to Silicon Valley,” he said while also teasing additional market announcements in the future. He also took an opportunity to compare Utah County with Breeze’s first destination while speaking from the terminal in San Francisco. “You wait in line for security less, you’re driving less, there’s less traffic along the way, there’s great parking,” Doxey said. The first flight out of the new terminal for Breeze Airways was being readied as Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi, Breeze President Tom Doxey and others discussed what the flight signals for the area’s future. With a small gathering on the second floor of the new Provo Airport terminal on Thursday, and the subsequent shuffling through two Transportation Security Administration scanners, a new era had begun. It was a uniquely Utah County experience. Passengers wait onboard the first flight for Breeze Airways out of the Provo Airport on Thursday, Aug.
