LAS VEGAS; June 22, 2023 — Avelo Airlines announced today it will open its sixth U.S. base in Las Vegas this September. The travel-inspiring airline’s second West Coast base is Avelo’s latest investment in bringing affordable, convenient and reliable air service to unserved and underserved communities across the country.

Avelo, which has operated nonstop service between Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) and Sonoma / Santa Rosa, Calif. (STS) since September 2021, will add four new exclusive nonstop destinations from LAS: Bend / Redmond, Ore. (RDM); Brownsville, Texas (BRO); Dubuque, Iowa (DBQ); and Eureka / Arcata, Calif. (ACV). Avelo will be the only airline flying nonstop between LAS and these five destinations.

Avelo is offering special introductory one-way fares between LAS and Bend (RDM), Eureka (ACV) and Sonoma (STS) starting at $49*. Special introductory one-way fares between LAS and Brownsville (BRO) and Dubuque (DBQ) start at $69*. The fares can be booked at AveloAir.com.

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “As the Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas is a winning bet for our sixth U.S. base. We are excited about the exclusive nonstop access to Vegas Avelo’s new base will offer our Customers from these five communities and more in the future. Vegas has something for everyone and Avelo’s affordability, convenience and reliability will make getting to this popular destination easier than ever. The new flights, destinations and jobs our new base will enable is a winning hand for Las Vegas, Avelo and, most importantly, our Customers.”

The new base is a homecoming of sorts for Levy who was a cofounder and served as longtime president of Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air. During his 14 years with Allegiant, he helped build one of America’s most successful airlines. At Avelo, Levy is joined by other former Allegiant leaders, including Chief Operating Officer Greg Baden.

Las Vegas joins Avelo’s five existing bases at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR); Orlando International Airport (MCO); Philadelphia / Delaware Valley’s Wilmington Airport (ILG); Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU); and Southern Connecticut’s Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN). Avelo’s new LAS base will debut September 7th, coinciding with the inauguration of Avelo’s four new destinations. These four new routes will expand Avelo’s LAS network to five destinations:

• Sonoma / Santa Rosa, Calif. (STS) — Avelo currently serves STS from LAS two days per week on Sundays and Thursday. Starting September 8, 2023, Avelo will double the flight frequency of service on this route to four days per week (Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays).
• Bend / Redmond, Ore. (RDM) — The first flight will be on September 7, 2023, with twice weekly service on Thursdays and Sundays.
• Brownsville, Texas (BRO) — The first flight will be on September 8, 2023, with twice weekly service on Mondays and Fridays.

Avelo will initially base one 147-seat Boeing Next-Generation (NG) 737-700 at LAS. Avelo currently operates 15 737s. Avelo plans to hire LAS-based Crewmembers, including pilots, flight attendants, aircraft maintenance technicians, and supervisors.
