- Avelo extends operations at its Connecticut and Central Florida bases
Avelo Airlines has announced the largest expansion in company history with 18 nonstop routes, the airline’s first scheduled international service to two destinations: Montego Bay, Jamaica and Cancun, Mexico, and the establishment of dual operations at Avelo’s Connecticut and Central Florida bases. In addition to the two new international destinations, Avelo will begin serving Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport (BDL) this fall basing two aircraft in Hartford.
Avelo will now serve 52 destinations across 23 states, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Mexico. Beginning this fall, Avelo will operate these new routes twice weekly utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Start dates and days of operation are below. Very low, one-way fares start at $52*. Travelers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “The expansion we are announcing today is the most substantial in our airline’s three-year history. 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.”
