NEW HAVEN, Conn.; March 20, 2024 — Avelo Airlines today announced it is expanding service from Southern Connecticut’s most convenient airport — Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) — to three new nonstop destinations: Houston, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri; and Traverse City, Michigan.
At the start of these routes, Avelo will be the only airline offering nonstop service from Connecticut to these three popular destinations. Additionally, Avelo is the only airline in the state of Connecticut offering nonstop flights to the state of Missouri, and the only low-fare airline offering flights to the states of Texas and Michigan. All three routes begin in June 2024 and will operate on Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Introductory one-way fares start at $62*. Travelers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.
Avelo also announced it will base a sixth aircraft at HVN.

This aircraft will create approximately 35 more jobs at HVN and will contribute to economic development across the region. In addition to Avelo’s six HVN-based aircraft, the airline also supports flights at Tweed with two additional aircraft based at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and Orlando International Airport (MCO) – bringing the total number of Avelo aircraft serving Tweed to eight 737s.
