The Lincoln Airport has a new airline.
Breeze Airways, a low-cost carrier, will begin nonstop service from LNK to Orlando International Airport (MCO) on December 10, 2025.
Lincoln is the airline’s 77th market served and Nebraska is the 35th state. LNK will be the only airport in the state with Breeze Service—a fast-growing airline which grew its passenger load by 47% in 2025 compared to the prior year, adding more than 19,000 flights.
A ‘No Flex Fare’ promotion, offering $79 one-way flights, is available through August 4, 2025. This promotion is only valid for travel from December 10, 2025, through May 12, 2026.
“Breeze has built a reputation for connecting underserved markets with affordable, high quality service, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to Lincoln,” said David Haring, Executive Director of the Lincoln Airport Authority. “Orlando is one of the most in demand destinations for families and vacationers in the Midwest, and this route provides a convenient, nonstop option that travelers will love.”
With memories of LNK’s 2023 Red Way fiasco—a short-lived airline promising cheap flights to popular destinations which shut down after only three months—not too distant, Lincolnites may feel skeptical of the new airline’s long term success.
But to support Breeze’s success, LNK will offer a structured Minimum Revenue Guarantee (MRG) program to the new airline. The MRG will provide Breeze with a maximum of $3.75 million across all new air service markets over a four-year period, with monthly and annual revenue caps. The airport said the structured commitment is meant to encourage Breeze to expand its LNK service beyond the Orlando route.
Breeze boasts one of the highest market route retention rates in the industry, still serving 93% of the cities it has launched since it began flying in 2021. The airline also operates one of the youngest and most efficient fleets in the nation, with an average aircraft age of six years.
“This is a smart investment in connectivity,” said Rachel Barth, Director of Air Service Development and Strategic Marketing for LNK. “Minimum revenue guarantees like this are industry standard and have helped airports across the country attract and retain successful new service. Plus Breeze Airlines is no stranger to Lincoln; they frequently fly our Husker sports charters. Very common for me to look out the window and see our Nebraska Volleyball team or one of the basketball teams loading up on their beautiful A220.”
