This week, Avelo launched three new nonstop routes from LAL: Atlanta (ATL), Hartford, Conn. (BDL), and Philadelphia \/ Wilmington, Del. (ILG). Avelo is the only airline offering nonstop service for these three routes, operating twice weekly utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy<\/strong> said, \u201cOur new base at Lakeland offers Floridians easy access to air travel, especially for Customers who value the convenience of a small airport. Between the announcement of our new route to Nashville and the start of these new routes today, Customers flying into Lakeland from any of our new destinations can expect more time and freedom to explore Florida in any direction they choose. Lakeland is the perfect complement to our operations in MCO and offers yet another choice among the other Florida airports we serve. It has all the attributes we look for to provide affordable travel between the places people want to fly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lakeland City Manager Shawn Sherrouse<\/strong> said, \u201cWe\u2019re excited that our airline partner, Avelo Airlines, has launched new destinations to and from Lakeland. Visitors will soon experience the warmth and hospitality of Central Florida, while local travelers can explore exciting locations like Atlanta, Philadelphia, and northern Connecticut.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lakeland International Airport Director Kris Hallstrand <\/strong>said, \u201cWe are thrilled to welcome these additional destinations to Lakeland International Airport including the opening of Avelo Airline\u2019s newest base. It\u2019s great to see the work of so many including our team, Avelo Airlines, and our partners at Visit Central Florida come to life. I would also like to thank the community for all the support they\u2019ve provided by embracing Avelo and the extraordinary growth of our airport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Central Florida Director of Tourism and Sports Marketing Mark Jackson<\/strong> said, \u201cThanks to Avelo Airlines, it will now be easier for travelers from around the world to experience Central Florida\u2019s Polk County, where the real Florida magic happens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing Avelo in Central Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avelo established operations at LAL as part of its regional Central Florida base in October 2024. The airline initially positioned one Boeing Next-Generation 737 at LAL, with plans to grow in the future. To support its base extension, the airline will create more jobs in Central Florida aviation for individuals at all stages of their career including pilots, flight attendants, ground services, Customer support and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a>America\u2019s Most Convenient Airline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/a>Since taking flight on April 28, 2021, Avelo has flown more than 5.7 million Customers on over 45,000 flights. Today Avelo serves 49 cities spanning 23 states and Puerto Rico, as well as two international destinations: Jamaica and Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avelo has unlocked a new era of convenience, choice, and competition by flying unserved routes to primarily underserved communities across the country. Every route has at least one small, easy to use airport. This makes every Avelo journey a smooth, easy, and more enjoyable experience than contending with the crowds, congestion, and long walks at larger airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avelo is distinguished by its industry-leading reliability. Year-to-date, Avelo ranks #1 in on-time performance and achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate in the industry. These results are reported by Anuvu, a leading aviation data services company also utilized by The Wall Street Journal for the publication\u2019s annual airline ranking. Anuvu\u2019s complete industry results and rankings are available at\u00a0<\/a>AveloAir.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avelo offers advanced seat assignments for sale.
