CEO Andrew Levy in an interview, vowed to learn from the experience and to make changes.

Avelo Airlines announced today it is growing its operational base at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) with a second Boeing 737 aircraft.

The additional routes will expand Avelo’s U.S. network to 40 destinations across 23 states.
Memphis and Rochester service will begin on June 14 and Manchester service will begin June 21. All three routes will operate twice weekly on Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft.

New routes from RDU
Growing Avelo at RDU
Avelo initially based one Boeing Next-Generation (NG) 737-700 at RDU on February 15, 2023. The airline has hired approximately 50 RDU-based Crewmembers (employees), including Airport Customers Service, Flight Attendants, Pilots, Aircraft Technical Operations and Maintenance, and Supervisors with more career opportunities still available. With the second 737-800, Avelo expects to hire at least 35 additional Crewmembers – expanding the airline’s total RDU-based employment total to approximately 85 Crewmembers.

Avelo operates from RDU’s Terminal 1. The airport’s original terminal represents a substantially more convenient and relaxing airport experience than its substantially larger Terminal 2. Terminal 1 offers Avelo Customers a swift curb-to-gate experience – in contrast to the significantly longer walks and TSA lines found at RDU’s Terminal 2. When travelers return from their trip, getting from their plane to baggage claim, and on their way home will be equally fast and seamless.
In addition to RDU, Avelo operates bases at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR), Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN), Orlando International Airport (MCO) and the Delaware Valley’s Wilmington Airport (ILG).
Avelo serves 40 destinations across the U.S.

Avelo Airlines opened its fifth base on February 15 at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). The new base enables Avelo to significantly expand the affordable, convenient and reliable air service the airline introduced to North Carolina’s Research Triangle region last May.
Especially noteworthy is Avelo’s transition to Terminal 1. RDU’s original terminal represents a substantially more convenient and relaxing airport experience than its substantially larger Terminal 2. Terminal 1 offers Avelo Customers a swift curb-to-gate experience – in contrast to the significantly longer walks and TSA lines found at RDU’s Terminal 2. When travelers return from their trip, getting from their plane to baggage claim, and on their way home will be equally fast and seamless.
With the debut of Avelo’s new base, Avelo now serves seven nonstop destinations from RDU, including six new popular Florida routes. Avelo began serving Southern Connecticut’s most convenient airport, Tweed-New Haven Airport, from RDU last year. Earlier this month, Avelo initiated service to Orlando and Tampa. Beginning tomorrow, Avelo will inaugurate service to Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Sarasota-Bradenton and West Palm Beach.
Six New Nonstop Florida Destinations:
Orlando (MCO) Effective February 2, 2023 – Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday
Tampa (TPA) Effective February 3, 2023 – Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday
