Low-cost carrier Avelo Airlines is expanding its reach from its largest base in Connecticut, introducing a new nonstop service between Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) and Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) starting November 14. This new route will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays, utilizing Avelo’s Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft.
Flight Schedule Details
The schedule for the new route is as follows:
New Haven (HVN) to New Orleans (MSY): 7:00 a.m. to 9:29 a.m.
New Orleans (MSY) to New Haven (HVN): 10:14 a.m. to 2:21 p.m.
This new addition aims to enhance connectivity for travelers between New England and the Gulf Coast.
Special Fare Offer
To mark the launch of the new route, Avelo is offering one-way fares for as low as $79. These promotional fares are available through Avelo’s website and mobile app for a limited time.
Increased Capacity and Additional Flights
In addition to the new New Orleans service, Avelo has announced an increase in its service to Puerto Rico. Starting November 8, the airline will boost its popular route to Puerto Rico from twice-weekly to four times per week, operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. This expansion is part of Avelo’s strategy to enhance its customer capacity and offer more travel options from New Haven Airport.
Basing More Aircraft in New Haven
Avelo will also base eight of its aircraft at New Haven Airport, where it currently serves over two dozen cities. The airline has seen significant success in New Haven, which has been a hub for its operations since its inception in 2021.
Upcoming Competition
However, Avelo will soon face increased competition. Later this year, Breeze Airways, another low-cost carrier, will introduce nearly a dozen new routes from New Haven Airport, directly competing with Avelo on several fronts. This influx of competition could impact Avelo’s market share and operations.
Conclusion
Avelo Airlines continues to solidify its position in the low-cost travel market with new routes and increased service options. The addition of nonstop flights to New Orleans and increased frequencies to Puerto Rico reflect the airline’s commitment to expanding its network and providing affordable travel options for its customers. With growing competition on the horizon, Avelo’s continued success will depend on maintaining its competitive edge and customer satisfaction.
