    Avelo Airlines today celebrates the fifth anniversary of its launch. When Avelo took flight on April 28, 2021, it became the first new airline in the U.S. in nearly 15 years. Avelo took flight at Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) six months later, on November 3, 2021, introducing a new era of affordable, convenient, and reliable air service to Connecticut travelers.

    Since 2021, Avelo has:

    • Flown more than 9.3 million Customers – 4.6 million in Connecticut  
    • Operated more than 74,000 flights – 35,000 in Connecticut
    • Matured and balanced network to 34 destinations
    • Established nearly 60 routes – 28 routes from Connecticut
    • Distinguished itself as one of America’s most reliable and convenient airlines
    • Grown to over 1,000 Crewmembers (employees) – Over 300 in Connecticut

    Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Five years ago Avelo took flight with a simple but powerful purpose – to Inspire Travel. Since then, we’ve fulfilled that mission for more than 9.3 million Customers who have experienced our money-saving low fares and time-saving convenience. Six months after launch we committed to New Haven as our next base with the same mission and industry-leading reliability. More airplanes and destinations are on the way, and we look forward to welcoming aboard millions of new and returning Customers in the years ahead.”

    The New HVN CEO Michael Jones said, “Today we celebrate Avelo's fifth anniversary with our passengers, our teams, and the HVN community. Five years ago, Avelo recognized what Southern Connecticut travelers had been telling us all along: they want convenient, reliable air service closer to home. With more than 4.5 million passengers served from HVN, 28 nonstop destinations, and more than 300 local jobs, the result is a stronger airport, a stronger regional economy, and more travel options for our community. We're grateful to Avelo for their partnership and for connecting our region to communities like San Juan that bring families together — and we look forward to unlocking new possibilities for Southern Connecticut in the years ahead.”

    Avelo is marking 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.

    Avelo celebrated its fifth anniversary today at HVN with ticket-voucher giveaways, congratulatory meet and-greets with UConn’s Jonathan, sweet treats from G Cafe, and Avelo fanfare.
