Avelo Airlines has further expanded its service offering by launching its second international destination. The airline will introduce a new nonstop service between Bradley International Airport in Hartford and Cancun, Mexico.
The airline will operate this route twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, utilizing its Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. The launch of the new international service comes in the wake of recent domestic route additions at Bradley International.
Expansion at Bradley International Airport
This month represents a pivotal moment of growth for Avelo, with six new routes added at Bradley International Airport. The airline’s strategic expansion includes destinations spanning North Carolina, with routes to Charlotte/Concord and Wilmington, Florida destinations like Daytona Beach and Orlando/Lakeland, and a connection to Houston.
Adding depth to its international portfolio, the airline recently inaugurated its first international route to Montego Bay, Jamaica. The move signaled a bolder approach to network development.
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy articulated the strategic importance of this international service expansion. “Our commitment to providing more choices for our customers drives every decision,” Levy explained.
“As the only airline currently offering nonstop service to Mexico from Connecticut, we’re revolutionizing travel by making destinations like Cancun, Tulum, and Cozumel more accessible and affordable for travelers across the region.”
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont endorsed the airline’s growth trajectory, highlighting how Avelo’s expansion significantly elevates Bradley International Airport’s reputation.
By transforming the airport into a more dynamic transportation hub, Avelo is repositioning Connecticut as an increasingly attractive destination for travelers.
Strategic Connecticut Presence
Demonstrating a profound commitment to the region, Avelo has established dual operations at Bradley International Airport, initially positioning two aircraft in Hartford.
This strategic investment highlights the airline’s dedication to providing convenient and affordable air service throughout Connecticut. The airline’s operational foundation remains centered in New Haven, where nearly 300 dedicated crew members support eight aircraft serving an impressive 27 nonstop destinations.
Airline Performance to Date
Since its inaugural flight in April 2021, Avelo has achieved remarkable milestones that underscore its rapid growth and customer appeal.
The airline has successfully transported over 5.7 million customers, completed more than 45,000 flights, and expanded its network to encompass 49 cities across 23 states and Puerto Rico, including two international destinations.
What distinguishes Avelo is its innovative approach to air travel. By focusing on underserved routes and smaller, more convenient airports, the airline offers a refreshing alternative to traditional carriers. Its industry-leading reliability is substantiated by ranking #1 in on-time performance and maintaining the lowest flight cancellation rate, as verified by Anuvu, a respected aviation data services company.
Customer-Friendly Policies
Avelo has designed its customer experience to prioritize flexibility and comfort. Travelers benefit from customer-friendly policies such as no change or cancellation fees, ensuring peace of mind when booking. Families appreciate the thoughtful approach of automatically seating children 14 and under with accompanying adults.
The airline further enhances passenger comfort by offering extra legroom in one-third of its seats, with space ranging from 32 to 36 inches. Travelers enjoy unprecedented flexibility through unbundled travel options, including priority boarding and customizable baggage selections.
Operating a fleet of 20 Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft, Avelo now serves 49 popular destinations across the United States, Jamaica and Mexico, operating from six bases.
