Avelo Airlines is making a significant expansion in the Delaware and Philadelphia region, just over a year after reintroducing commercial flights to Wilmington Airport. The low-cost carrier has announced plans to launch new services from Wilmington Airport (ILG) to Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL), as well as resume flights to popular Florida destinations like Palm Beach starting in November.
Expansion Brings 13 Nonstop Destinations from Wilmington
With this latest expansion, Avelo Airlines will offer nonstop flights to 13 different destinations from Wilmington. The new routes will be operated on Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft, continuing Avelo’s commitment to providing efficient and reliable service to its passengers.
Customer Satisfaction Drives Expansion
“Our customers tell us they love the convenience, affordability, and reliability of flying Avelo at ILG,” said Avelo Airlines’ Founder and CEO, Andrew Levy. He added that the airline is “proud to be the Philadelphia / Delaware Valley region’s airline of choice and continue growth at ILG.” This customer feedback has been a driving force behind Avelo’s continued expansion in the region.
Atlanta Service Launches in November
Starting November 8, Avelo will begin offering twice-weekly flights to Atlanta, operating on Mondays and Fridays. To celebrate the launch of this new route, the airline is offering introductory fares starting at just $46 one-way, available for purchase by August 13 for travel between November 8 and November 18.
Florida Flights Resume with Expanded Service
In addition to the new Atlanta route, Avelo will resume flights to several Florida cities. Twice-weekly service to Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) will begin on November 7, with flights operating on Thursdays and Sundays. The following day, on November 8, the airline will restart service to Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) with flights on Mondays and Fridays. Lastly, Avelo will launch flights to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) on Wednesdays and Saturdays starting November 23.
Avelo’s Growth Since 2021 Launch
Avelo Airlines first launched in 2021 and reintroduced commercial flights to Delaware in 2023 after a period without any service. Since then, the airline has continued to expand its route network, including the introduction of flights to Puerto Rico last year and the announcement of its first international destinations in Mexico and Jamaica.
Ultra-Low-Cost Model with Optional Add-Ons
Avelo operates under an ultra-low-cost model, meaning the base fare is kept low, with additional charges for extras like seat assignments, checked bags, and carry-on luggage. This model allows travelers to customize their experience according to their budget and needs.
Conclusion
Avelo Airlines’ latest expansion in the Delaware and Philadelphia region underscores the airline’s commitment to providing affordable and convenient travel options. With the introduction of new routes and the resumption of popular Florida destinations, Avelo is positioning itself as a key player in the region’s air travel market. Passengers can look forward to more options and continued growth from this dynamic low-cost carrier.
