Hello, Avelo! Avelo Airlines Takes Off with Exclusive Nonstop Service to Orlando from Central Wisconsin Airport / Wausau

  • Avelo is CWA’s first low-fare airline
  • Very low, one-way fares start at $54

MOSINEE and WAUSAU, Wis.; Oct. 5, 2023 — Avelo Airlines takes off today with exclusive nonstop service between Central Wisconsin Airport (CWA) and Orlando International Airport (MCO).

Avelo is the first and only low-fare airline serving CWA and is the only airline offering nonstop flights from the Central Wisconsin region to the Theme Park Capital of the World in Central Florida. With the start of this new route, Avelo introduces a new era of affordable, convenient and reliable air travel to Central Wisconsin.

Avelo operates this route twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Very low, one-way fares between CWA and MCO start at $54*. Customers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.

Central Wisconsin Airport sits in the heart of Wisconsin, in Mosinee, between Stevens Point and Wausau. CWA offers a refreshingly fast, smooth and welcoming hometown airport experience. Avelo’s new service makes getting to Orlando more convenient than ever. Travelers can now forgo the long gas-guzzling drives to those other distant Wisconsin airports or those long, expensive connecting flights on other airlines when traveling to Orlando.

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Central Wisconsin – it’s time to say hello to Avelo! We are excited to begin exclusive nonstop service to Orlando. Getting to the Theme Park Capital of the World is now easier and more affordable than ever. Say goodbye to the hassle of long and expensive gas-guzzling drives to other distant airports, and say hello to a new era of affordability, convenience and reliability with Avelo.”

Central Wisconsin Joint Airport Board Chair Dave Ladick said, “Today, Avelo Airlines begins serving the communities of Central and Northern Wisconsin from CWA! Central Wisconsin Airport is the first and only airport in the state to offer this affordable service by an airline that has established itself as America’s most reliable Airline. Fly CWA & Fly Avelo.”

Central Wisconsin Airport Director Brian Grefe, A.A.E. said, “I couldn’t be prouder to offer CWA to Orlando service on Avelo Airlines. This is a game changer for CWA, a leisure, price focused airline is something our guests have wanted for several years. Orlando is the number one vacation destination out of Central Wisconsin. I look forward to growing our partnership with Avelo.”

Orlando: Theme Park Capital of the World

Endless excitement and unforgettable adventures are just minutes away for Avelo Customers arriving at Orlando International Airport. Whether it’s a trip for families, couples, single travelers or a group of friends, Orlando is the perfect destination that ensures a memorable vacation filled with unique experiences for every visitor. While Orlando is known as the Theme Park Capital of the World for its incredible parks and attractions, there’s so much more to enjoy. The destination is also home to sizzling nightlife and a vibrant entertainment scene, craft breweries, wineries, professional sports teams and so much more.

America’s Affordable and Convenient Airline

Avelo was founded with a vision to help its Customers save money and time. Since taking flight on April 28, 2021, Avelo has flown over three million Customers on over 25,000 flights.

Today, Avelo serves 44 destinations spanning 23 states and Puerto Rico. The airline has unlocked a new era of convenience, choice and competition in air travel by flying unserved routes to primarily underserved communities across the country. At least one airport on every Avelo flight is a small hometown airport – making every Avelo journey easier and more enjoyable.

In addition to offering Customers everyday low fares on every route, Avelo Customers can always change or cancel their itineraries with no extra fees. Avelo also offers several unbundled travel-enhancing options that give Customers the flexibility to pay for what they value, including priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on overhead bags and bringing a pet in the cabin.

Additionally, the 16 American-made Boeing 737 jets Avelo flies offer a more spacious and comfortable experience than the small regional aircraft currently operating at most of the airports Avelo serves. Customers who value an advance seat assignment can choose from several modestly priced seating options, including seats with extra leg room, as well as pre-reserved window and aisle seating. One third of seats on Avelo aircraft are available for Customers who appreciate the comfort of extra legroom.

At Avelo, every flight is also nonstop. This connection-free travel experience not only provides Avelo Customers with faster and simpler travel, but also minimizes delays, cancellations and lost bags. In fact, Avelo has established itself as one of America’s most reliable airlines. In the first nine months of 2023, Avelo has achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate and the best on-time performance in the U.S. airline industry.

Avelo is distinguished by its Soul of Service culture. The culture is grounded in Avelo’s One Crew Value which promotes a welcoming and caring experience. By caring for one another and owning their commitments, Avelo Crewmembers focus on anticipating and understanding Customer needs on the ground and in the air.
