Avelo Airlines this week begins service to two new destinations from Washington D.C. / Baltimore: Orlando, Florida and Wilmington, North Carolina.
Flights from Baltimore / Washington International Airport (BWI) to Orlando International Airport (MCO) began on June 30 and BWI to Wilmington International Airport (ILM) begin today, July 1.
Avelo Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, "There's growing demand for air service from BWI and Avelo's unmatched convenience and affordability make traveling to Orlando and Wilmington easier than ever. The start of these two new routes, in addition to our existing service to Southern Connecticut, provide more choice for our Customers' next vacation, weekend getaway, or reconnecting with family and friends."
Avelo will fly its Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft on both routes. The Orlando route will operate five times per week and the Wilmington route will operate three times per week.
"Avelo has plans to grow, and we're excited that the airline will offer our local residents and visitors added low fare travel options," said Ricky Smith, Executive Director of BWI Marshall Airport. "These continuous inaugurals, highlights the strength and appeal of our market."
In late May, Avelo began its first route from BWI to Connecticut's most convenient airport – Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN).
