The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that a U.S. discount airline is pitching itself to Quebeckers as a cheap way to fly south, but is counting on tourists driving across the border to do so. The Globe's Eric Atkins writes that Breeze Airways, a 33-plane airline launched two years ago by David Neeleman, co-founder of WestJet and founder of JetBlue Airways, says it will fly to Orlando from Plattsburgh, N.Y., three times a week beginning at the end of November for $80 one way. "We're looking to attract a lot of Quebeckers to come across the border, come to Plattsburgh and fly to Orlando," Mr. Neeleman, Breeze Airways's CEO, said in a webcast press conference on Tuesday. WestJet began flying in 1996 as a low-cost airline based on the model set by Southwest Airlines and Morris Air and has become Canada's second-largest carrier. Plattsburgh International, just over 100 kilometres south of Montreal at Lake Champlain in upstate New York, bills itself as "Montreal's New York airport" and which courts Canadians on its website. Canadians account for 60 to 70 per cent of the travellers at Plattsburgh airport, which had between 250,000 and 300,000 originating and terminating passengers before the pandemic.
