Avelo Airlines announced a historic expansion at Wilmington Airport (ILG) with the addition of a new nonstop service to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Avelo is the first airline to offer nonstop flights beyond the continental United States at ILG — the convenient, affordable and travel-friendly alternative to Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

When this destination takes flight in November, Avelo will serve 15 nonstop destinations from its Philadelphia / Delaware Valley base. Since taking flight in February, Avelo has flown more than 125,000 Customers at ILG – the fastest single-year growth rate in airport history.

Special introductory one-way fares between ILG and San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) start at $99*. Customers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.

Avelo will begin serving San Juan on November 15, 2023, with twice-weekly nonstop service on Wednesdays and Saturdays. This route will utilize the two 189-seat Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 aircraft Avelo has based at ILG.

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Since taking flight in February, more than 125,000 Customers have discovered the magical convenience, reliability and affordability of flying Avelo at Greater Philly’s most travel-friendly airport — Wilmington Airport. This historic service expansion is the latest example of the smooth and seamless travel experience Avelo is bringing to the four-state Delaware Valley region. With the second-largest Puerto Rican community in the U.S., Avelo is making it easier than ever for friends and family to reconnect on both ends of this exciting new Caribbean route. And with winter right around the corner, San Juan is the latest example of how Avelo is inspiring travel across the region with an irresistible mix of popular destinations to choose from. I want to thank Governor Carney, DRBA Executive Director Tom Cook and so many other local and state leaders for sharing our vision for the new era of friendly, low-fare and reliable air travel ILG is enabling.”
