MCKINNEY, Texas, Oct. 15, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- Avelo Airlines today announced two new Florida destinations from McKinney National Airport (DTX), growing the airline's Collin County hometown network to 11 destinations. Beginning Dec. 16, Avelo will fly from DTX to Sarasota/Bradenton (SRQ), followed on Dec. 17 by West Palm Beach (DJT).

With two new Florida destinations in West Palm Beach and Sarasota-Bradenton, we'll now serve 11 nonstop routes from DTX. We're also growing our Las Vegas service to six weekly flights to meet strong demand. Our low fares, the size and convenience of DTX, and our consistent industry-leading on-time performance are a winning combination for travelers. We're excited to keep growing in Collin County, one of the fastest-growing areas in America. Once you fly with us, you'll understand what we mean — if you know, you Avelo."
