Houston, TX – Avelo Airlines operated a flight from Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) to Tweed New Haven Regional Airport (HVN) in Connecticut on June 14, marking it the first time the carrier flew from its headquarter city. In a press release, Avelo Airlines stated it was the only airline to offer a nonstop service for this route in the U.S.

According to the company, Houston is home to almost 200 employees and the airline’s national Support Center at the Greenway Plaza. New Haven, Connecticut is also Avelo’s largest operational base.

Avelo publicly debuted as an airline in 2021 when it flew passengers from Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) to the Bay Area’s Sonoma County Airport (STS). The company made headlines as the nation’s first new low-cost airline in 15 years.

Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said in the press release:

“Today marks a significant milestone as we inaugurate Avelo’s first flight from our home city of Houston. This route will also connect our airline’s national Support Center (headquarters) with the largest of our six bases. Avelo will be the only airline connecting Houston and Connecticut – which will make getting to the gateway to New England and New York easier, faster and more affordable than ever. The flight will also make traveling to Houston a simpler and smoother experience for Connecticut visitors. And when you consider we’ll be flying from Houston’s most convenient airport – Hobby – it’s easy to appreciate why we are so excited about Avelo’s H-Town debut today.”

“Houston Airports is proud to celebrate the launch of Avelo Airlines’ new nonstop service from Hobby Airport to Connecticut,” stated Director of Aviation for Houston Airports Jim Szczesniak in the release. “This exciting partnership offers our passengers even more convenient travel options between Houston and the Northeast. Avelo’s commitment to affordability perfectly aligns with our mission of connecting people, businesses, and cultures to Houston. With this new route, Hobby Airport further strengthens its position as Skytrax’s Best Regional Airport in North America.

Within three years, Avelo has grown to serve more than 4.7 million customers on over 37,000 flights. The airline now flies to 53 destinations in 24 states and Puerto Rico.

Based on reports from Anuvu, a leading aviation data services company, Avelo has been repeatedly ranked first or second in on-time performance and lowest flight cancellation rate among U.S. carriers.

Avelo also offers customers the ability to cancel or change their flights at no extra cost. Children under 13 can also automatically be seated next to accompanying adults for free.

The flights from Houston to Connecticut will run weekly only on Mondays and Fridays. One-way fares start as low as $98. For more information visit AveloAir.com.
