Low-cost carrier
Avelo Airlines has just announced the largest expansion to date, introducing 18
new nonstop routes, including the airline's very first international
destinations. This significant growth sees Avelo extending operations at its
existing Connecticut and Central Florida
bases, and launching new services to Montego Bay, Jamaica,
and Cancun,
Mexico.
With these latest
additions, Avelo will serve a total of 52 destinations spanning 23 U.S. states,
Puerto
Rico, Jamaica, and Mexico. Starting this autumn, Avelo will begin operating
these new routes twice weekly. The expansion effort also includes establishing
dual operations at Hartford, Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport (BDL),
where the airline will base two aircraft. To celebrate this momentous milestone,
the carrier is offering one-way fares at introductory prices of as low as $52
while supply lasts. Reservations are already open for booking on Avelo’s website.
“The expansion we
are announcing today is the most substantial in our airline’s three-year
history,” said Avelo Airlines’ Founder and CEO Andrew Levy. “Avelo’s purpose is
to Inspire Travel, and the addition of 18 new routes and our first two
international destinations will make getting where our Customers want to go
easier than ever. Couple this with our industry-leading reliability and it’s no
surprise over five million people have chosen to fly Avelo. Adding more
airplanes and destinations, I am very excited about the momentum and growth we
are seeing across our business. And with three consecutive profitable quarters,
Avelo is positively positioned for even more growth in the future across our
network.”
Levy added,
“As we enter the second half of 2024, Avelo continues to distinguish itself as
America’s most reliable airline. Our Customers can count on Avelo to get them
where they want to go more reliably than any other airline. And when you couple
this with the ease and speed of the small hometown airports we fly to, there is
not a more seamless way to travel than Avelo. I appreciate the relentless
commitment to operational excellence our 1,000 Avelo Crewmembers exemplify
every day that is fueling our industry-leading performance.”
From Hartford, Avelo
will begin flying twice weekly to Cancun and Montego Bay in mid-November. Also
in November, it will fly new twice-weekly domestic routes to Charlotte/Concord,
North Carolina; Daytona Beach, Florida; Houston, Texas; Orlando/Lakeland,
Florida; and Wilmington, North Carolina. Wilmington will also be getting
nonstop service to Fort Myers’ Southwest Florida International Airport.
From Central
Florida’s Lakeland International Airport (LAL), new routes will carry customers
twice weekly to Atlanta, Georgia; Boston/Manchester, New Hampshire; Charlotte/Concord,
North Carolina; Hartford, Connecticut; Philadelphia/Wilmington, Delaware; Rochester,
New York; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
From Charlotte,
North Carolina’s Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (USA), twice weekly service
will start this fall to Albany, New York; Boston/Manchester, New Hampshire;
Orlando/Lakeland, Florida; Philadelphia/Wilmington, Delaware; and Rochester,
New York. From Philadelphia / Delaware Valley’s Wilmington Airport (ILG), new
routes to Charlotte/Concord, North Carolina and Orlando/Lakeland, Florida will
commence in November.
To support this
substantial growth, Avelo will establish dual operations at both BDL and LAL, initially
positioning Boeing Next-Generation 737s at these bases. This expansion is
expected to create numerous job opportunities in Connecticut and Central
Florida, including positions for pilots, flight attendants, ground services,
and customer support.
The airline's
aggressive expansion strategy aligns with its mission to provide reliable and
accessible air travel, leveraging small hometown airports for a seamless travel
experience.
