Avelo Airlines is going for the glitz and glamor.
The budget carrier has decided to make Las Vegas and Harry Reid International Airport its sixth home base in the United States and began service from there on Thursday of last week.
Avelo Airlines Founder, Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said in a statement: “As they say, What Happens in Vegas, Can Only Happen in Vegas, and that makes Las Vegas a winning bet for our sixth base. We are excited to start the exclusive nonstop access to Vegas that Avelo’s new base will offer our customers from these six communities, with more to come in the future. Vegas has something for everyone and Avelo’s affordability, convenience and reliability will make getting to this popular destination easier than ever. The new flights, destinations and jobs our new base enables hits the jackpot for Las Vegas, Avelo and, most importantly, our customers.”
Avelo will be the only airline to fly nonstop between Las Vegas and Bend/Redmond, Ore.; Sonoma/Santa Rosa, Calif.; Brownsville, Texas; Eureka/Arcata, Calif.; Dubuque, Iowa; and Portland/Salem, Ore.
Clark County Director of Aviation Rosemary Vassiliadis said, “The Las Vegas valley is a great place to visit but also to call home. We are so excited for Avelo Airlines to not only expand its service to Harry Reid International Airport providing even more travelers with a convenient and affordable way to get here, but to also add Las Vegas as a West Coast base creating jobs and opportunities in our community.”
Other Avelo hubs are at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR); Orlando International Airport (MCO); Philadelphia / Delaware Valley’s Wilmington Airport (ILG); Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU); and Southern Connecticut’s Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN).
