HARTFORD, Conn.; November 7, 2024 — Avelo Airlines today opened its base of operations at Hartford’s Bradley International Airport (BDL). Avelo also launched four new domestic routes today using Hartford-based aircraft, with three more routes starting next week. Affordable, one-way fares start at $56*
The airline will establish dual operations at BDL as part of its regional Connecticut base alongside New Haven, initially positioning two aircraft in Hartford. This expansion represents further investment in the region and enables Avelo to significantly broaden its convenient, affordable and reliable air service across Connecticut.
Today, Avelo debuts at BDL with new nonstop routes to Charlotte / Concord (USA) and Wilmington (ILM) in North Carolina, while tomorrow we will see inaugural flights to Daytona Beach (DAB) and Orlando / Lakeland (LAL) in Florida. Avelo operates these routes twice a week utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Travelers can book at AveloAir.com.
Next week, Avelo will add Houston, Texas (HOU) and its first scheduled international flights with service to Cancun, Mexico (CUN) and Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ).
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Avelo is proud to be Connecticut’s Airline. Our Customers tell us they love flying Avelo, and we’re excited to make flying Avelo even more convenient for travelers across the state. With 29 nonstop destinations, including two popular international locations, it’s easier than ever for travelers to seamlessly and reliably get to and from Connecticut. Our presence at BDL is a testament to the welcoming reception Avelo has enjoyed across the state. I appreciate the support Avelo has received from government, community and business leaders throughout Connecticut. And with three consecutive profitable quarters, Avelo is well-positioned for even more growth in the future.”
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont said, “Over the last several years, Bradley has implemented many major improvements that have resulted in this airport being ranked by leading travel analysts as one of the best in the nation. The addition of Avelo Airlines at Bradley will only increase this airport’s reputation as one of the most convenient airports in the northeast. I look forward to Avelo’s continued growth in Connecticut.”
