NEW HAVEN, Conn.; March 28, 2022 — Avelo Airlines announced today that it has surpassed 1,000 flights at Southern Connecticut’s most convenient airport – Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN). This milestone coincides with Avelo commemorating its first 100 days of flying from HVN to West Palm Beach, Fla. 

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “I’m very encouraged by the continued momentum and enthusiasm we are seeing in Connecticut. With the addition of popular destinations like Washington, D.C., Chicago, Nashville and Charleston, coupled with the additional flights we are adding for the busy summer travel season, our Connecticut Customers have more options for getting where they want to go than ever before.”  

Despite the challenging winter weather, Avelo has delivered a reliable experience since its
arrival at HVN. When excluding weather and air traffic control (ATC)-related factors outside Avelo’s control, the airline achieved a cancellation rate of less 1% and an on-time arrival rate of 83% between November and March.

Tweed-New Haven Airport Director Sean Scanlon said, “For decades people asked for more service out of Tweed-New Haven Airport. More than 1,000 flights and more than 100,000 passengers later, we’ve delivered thanks to our incredible partnership with Avelo Airlines and we’re just getting started.”

In addition to surpassing 1,000 flights, Avelo also completed its first 100 days of flying to West Palm Beach, Fla. Since this service began in mid-December, Avelo has flown more than 20,000 Customers between HVN and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) and achieved a 92% ontime arrival performance for this route, when excluding weather and ATC-related delays beyond the airline’s control.
