Avelo Airlines, the low-cost carrier rapidly making a name for itself, is set to further expand its operations from its largest hub in Connecticut. With new domestic and international routes on the horizon, Avelo is positioning itself as a key player in connecting travelers to popular destinations, offering convenience and affordability.
New Nonstop Service to New Orleans
Beginning November 14, Avelo Airlines will introduce nonstop service between Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) and Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN). This new route will be available twice weekly, with flights scheduled on Thursdays and Sundays, using Avelo’s Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft:
New Haven (HVN) to New Orleans (MSY): 7 a.m. to 9:29 a.m.
New Orleans (MSY) to New Haven (HVN): 10:14 a.m. to 2:21 p.m.
Commitment to Connecticut and Growth in New Haven
Avelo’s CEO, Andrew Levy, expressed the airline’s commitment to its Connecticut base, stating, “Avelo is proud to be Connecticut’s airline and continue growth in New Haven with a new route to New Orleans, plus more Puerto Rico flights this winter and increased customer capacity.” He emphasized that with 27 nonstop destinations available from Tweed, travelers can more easily access the airline’s convenient, affordable, and reliable air service.
Limited-Time Fare Promotion
To mark the launch of the new route, Avelo is offering one-way fares starting at just $79 for a limited time. These fares can be booked through the airline’s website or app, providing an attractive incentive for travelers to experience the new service.
Expansion of Service to Puerto Rico
In addition to the New Orleans route, Avelo announced plans to station eight of its aircraft at New Haven Airport, where it currently serves more than two dozen cities. Starting November 8, the airline will increase its service to Puerto Rico, expanding from twice-weekly flights to four times per week. The new schedule will include flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Avelo’s Strategic Growth Since 2021
Avelo Airlines, which began operations in 2021, has focused on connecting smaller airports with larger destinations, offering a unique value proposition in the airline industry. The airline has enjoyed significant success from its New Haven base, serving over 2.4 million travelers as the airport’s sole carrier. However, this dynamic is set to shift as low-cost competitor Breeze Airways prepares to launch nearly a dozen routes from New Haven later this year, directly challenging Avelo’s market position.
Conclusion
As Avelo Airlines continues to expand its reach from Connecticut, it remains committed to offering affordable and reliable air service to travelers. With new routes, increased service frequencies, and a growing fleet at New Haven Airport, Avelo is poised to strengthen its presence in the competitive airline market, even as new challenges arise from competing carriers like Breeze Airways. Travelers can look forward to more options and greater convenience as Avelo builds on its successes and continues to innovate in the low-cost travel sector.
