Avelo Airlines celebrated the fifth anniversary of its start of operations on Tuesday. When Avelo took flight on April 28, 2021, it became the first new airline in the U.S. in nearly 15 years—introducing a new era of affordable, convenient, and reliable air service for millions of American travelers.
Since 2021, Avelo has:
- Flown more than 9.3 million customers
- Operated more than 74,000 flights
- Matured and balanced its network to 34 destinations
- Established nearly 60 routes
- Distinguished itself as one of America’s most reliable and convenient airlines
- Grown to over 1,000 crewmembers (employees)
Avelo is commemorating the occasion with a fifth anniversary promo code “5YEARS” offering travelers $50 off round trip base fares* between May and November. Travelers can apply the promo code on new itineraries booked at AveloAir.com.
The airline also marked its fifth anniversary this week across all its bases with ticket‑voucher giveaways, treats from local eateries, Avelo fanfare and—in Connecticut—a celebratory meet‑and‑greet with the UConn Husky mascot, Jonathan.
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “When we launched Avelo five years ago, our purpose was clear: Inspire Travel by giving people a better way to fly. Millions of customers have since trusted us with their journeys, and that’s a responsibility we take seriously every day. Our growth, our reliability and our expanding network all reflect the dedication of our Crewmembers and the loyalty of the communities we serve. The next five years will bring even more opportunities to deliver the convenience and value travelers deserve.”
Avelo launched in April 2021 serving 11 West Coast destinations. Today Avelo serves 34 destinations up and down the East Coast and Midwest, spanning 14 states and Puerto Rico on 58 routes.
Over the next two months, Avelo will inaugurate routes to two new destinations: Cleveland, Ohio and Indianapolis, Indiana from its Southern Connecticut and Charlotte / Concord, North Carolina bases.
Later this year, the airline will open its first Texas aircraft base at North Dallas‘s McKinney National Airport (TKI). Avelo will initially employ approximately 50 Crewmembers. TKI will join Avelo’s four existing bases at Southern Connecticut’s Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN), the Philadelphia / Delaware Valley region’s Wilmington Airport (ILG), Central Florida‘s Lakeland International Airport (LAL) and Charlotte‘s Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (USA).
Avelo’s aircraft fleet has grown from three Boeing Next-Generation (NG) 737 jetliners when it launched to 15 aircraft today (14 189-seat NG 737-800s and 1 149-seat NG 737-700). The airline has commitments for two additional aircraft deliveries by the end of 2026.
