SALT LAKE CITY — Getting to Texas just got easier for Utahns in the Provo area. Breeze Airways announced new flights to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport from Provo. The new route will be offered beginning June 7, with twice-weekly services on Mondays and Fridays.

Fares for the Dallas are starting from $69, the airline says.

Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi is promoting the growth of the city airport.

"Momentum continues to soar at the Provo Airport! Within just 18 months of opening our new terminal, we officially welcomed our one-millionth passenger — a testament to its convenience and affordability," Kaufusi said.

"With exciting new travel destinations like Breeze's latest route to Dallas-Fort Worth, Provo is cementing its status as the ultimate destination for stress-free travel," she said

Brian Torgerson, the director of the Provo Airport, says the flight from Provo to Dallas-Fort Worth has a focus on the Utah County-based airport.

"Since opening the new terminal, DFW has been a focus of our air service development efforts at the Provo Airport. Breeze is stepping up to make this important connection a reality."

"We're thrilled to announce this new route to Dallas-Fort Worth from Provo," Breeze Airways' President Tom Doxey, said. "With Breeze's added convenience and affordability, our business model continues to see success in cities across the country like Provo."

The Provo Airport is Utah's second busiest airport. The small airport has seen a steady rise in growth: up to 125%, the airport director said last year. Kaufusi has previously announced that Provo Airport would become an international airport.

Torgerson confirmed with KSL-TV that his office is working with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to prepare for international flights.

There are currently four gates within the Provo Airport. To serve international flights, gates would be expanded and a separate bagging area and customs processing area would need to be added.

"Breeze doesn't charge change or cancellation fees up to 15 minutes prior to departure and offers other benefits such as free family seating and a la carte pricing. ... Breeze makes it easy to buy and easy to fly," a release from Breeze Airways stated.
