Avelo Airlines is set to expand its operations in Connecticut by adding new destinations to its flight schedules from Bradley International Airport and Tweed-New Haven Airport. The airline, which has been serving travelers in its current form since April 2021, announced the addition of four new routes, including its first-ever flight to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
This move strengthens Avelo’s growing international portfolio, which already includes Cancun, Mexico, and Montego Bay, Jamaica. The new destinations include Jacksonville, Florida; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; Detroit, Michigan; Portland, Maine; and Punta Cana. The flights are scheduled to begin between February and May 2025, offering passengers increased connectivity to both domestic and international locations.
The service rollout begins on February 14 with flights to Jacksonville, followed by Dallas-Fort Worth on March 7, Detroit on April 4, and Portland on May 22. The inaugural flight to Punta Cana will take place on February 21. Tickets for these routes are available now, with fares starting as low as $39 one way, according to the airline.
In a statement, Avelo CEO Andrew Levy expressed the airline’s commitment to expanding affordable and convenient travel options for Connecticut residents.
“We love Connecticut and are excited to continue expanding our presence here with these five new exclusive destinations. With 39 route choices, Avelo offers Connecticut travelers more choice, affordability, and convenience than any other airline operating in the state. And when you couple that with our industry-leading reliability, it doesn’t surprise us that nearly 3 million Customers have entrusted Avelo with their air travel since we took flight here three years ago.”
Since its inception, Avelo Airlines has focused on providing budget-friendly travel while maintaining high standards of reliability. The addition of Punta Cana to its lineup underscores its ambition to inspire travel by making both domestic and international destinations more accessible.
With a total of 39 routes now available from Connecticut, Avelo solidifies its position as a key player in the region’s air travel market, providing competitive options for leisure and business travelers alike.
