Avelo Airlines announced nonstop service between Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) and Puerto Rico's San Juan Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU). San Juan is Avelo's first destination outside the continental United States.
"A lot of people have been eagerly awaiting this news. With a large and increasing number of Puerto Ricans calling Connecticut home, this service will make reconnecting with friends and family easier and more affordable than ever,” commented chairman and chief executive, Andrew Levy. “And with winter right around the corner, this Caribbean Island treasure is the latest example of how Avelo is inspiring travel in new and exciting ways for Southern Connecticut. At the same time, we expect the affordability and convenience of this new route will inspire a meaningful number of travelers to visit Connecticut from Puerto Rico.
Beginning on November 15, 2023, Avelo will operate this route twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, deploying its Boeing Next-Generation (NG) 737 aircraft. Avelo is the first and only airline offering nonstop service between Southern Connecticut and the Island of Enchantment.
San Juan is Avelo's first Caribbean destination expanding the airline's route map to 47 destinations spanning 25 states and one US territory.
