Avelo Airlines' First 100 Days Serving The Palm Beaches Is Off to a High-Flying Start

More than 20,000 Customers have flown Avelo between PBI and Southern Connecticut

THE PALM BEACHES, Fla., March 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Avelo Airlines commemorated its 100^th day of service at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). Avelo, which introduced service at PBI last December, is off to a high-flying start as it ushers in a new era of convenient, reliable and affordable nonstop air service between The Palm Beaches and Southern Connecticut.

Since launching the new service, Avelo has flown more than 20,000 Customers between PBI and Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) – Connecticut's most convenient airport. During its first 100 days, the airline delivered an on-time performance rate* of 92%, excluding weather and air traffic control delays beyond its control.

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, "I'm very pleased with the initial response to Avelo's arrival at PBI. Avelo's exceptional reliability and affordability have made our airline an appealing choice for folks from throughout the area. We look forward to welcoming even more Customers from The Palm Beaches aboard Avelo and bringing more visitors from Connecticut to this beautiful stretch of South Florida coastline."

Palm Beach County Department of Airports Director of Communications Lacy Larson said, "The first 100 days of Avelo's New Haven service at PBI has been a great success and we love happy passengers. An easy, convenient and stress-free trip to the Sunshine State and South Florida's favorite airport is a win for travelers. We look forward to many more '100 day' milestones ahead with Avelo."

Avelo currently flies from PBI to HVN six days per week utilizing 147-seat Boeing Next-Generation 737-700 jetliners. Beginning in June, Avelo will fly between PBI and HVN every day during the peak summer travel season.
