Avelo Airlines was founded with a simple purpose — to Inspire Travel, and that’s exactly what we’ve seen happen in Wilmington. Avelo Airlines began service at Wilmington International Airport (ILM) on June 30, with three nonstop routes and continues to grow with a fourth route starting in November. For more information on routes and to book visit AveloAir.com.
 
Avelo serves Orlando; Fort Lauderdale; New Haven, Connecticut; and the National Capital Region via Baltimore. At Avelo, there are no change or cancellation fees. Avelo 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. 
 
Hello Avelo
In April 2021, Avelo Airlines took flight for the first time — ushering in a new era of convenient, affordable and reliable air travel. Led by a team of world-class airline executives, we endeavored to build a different and better kind of airline.
 
We help you fly for less so you can fly more. That means more opportunities for you to connect with family and friends while exploring new places and revisiting old favorites. But we don’t just save you money. We fly out of smaller, more convenient airports, so we also save you time and hassle.
 
Today, Avelo serves 30 destinations across the U.S. from our bases at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport, Southern Connecticut’s Tweed-New Haven Airport and Orlando International Airport. That means more opportunities for you to connect with family and friends while exploring new places and revisiting old favorites.
 
Avelo Offers a Different, Better and More Affordable Travel Experience
Since taking flight in April 2021, Avelo has emerged as one of the airline industry’s most reliable airlines. The airline has cancelled less than 1% of its flights and consistently delivers industry-leading on-time performance and baggage handling metrics.
 
The airline offers Customers time and money-saving convenience, low everyday fares, and a refreshingly smooth and caring experience through its Soul of Service culture.
 
The American-made Boeing 737 jets Avelo flies offer a more spacious and comfortable experience than the small regional aircraft historically operating at many of the small hometown airports Avelo serves. Customers may choose from several seating options, including seats with extra leg room, as well as pre-reserved window and aisle seating.
 
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.
 
We look forward to welcoming our new Wilmington Customers aboard for their next vacation, weekend getaway, or reconnection with family and friends to one of our four great destinations.
