Dec. 9 – Avelo Airlines, a Houston-based low-cost carrier, will begin offering nonstop flights between Portland International Jetport and Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport in southern Connecticut in May.
It is Avelo’s first foray into Maine and the only airline to serve the route, the company said in a statement Monday. One-way fares start at $39, with biweekly flights on Sundays and Thursdays aboard Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft.
Located on the coast of Connecticut, Tweed-New Haven is a gateway to 15 cities that make up Greater New Haven, which is part of the New York metropolitan area. It is also near several major highways and commuter railroads.
Founded in 2021, Avelo has focused on providing transportation “convenience, choice and competition by flying unserved routes to primarily underserved communities across the country,” the statement said.
Since then, Avelo has served more than 6 million customers on more than 46,000 flights and now serves 54 cities in 24 states and Puerto Rico, as well as Jamaica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
