Avelo Airlines Expands Network with New Florida Routes from McKinney Airport

Avelo Airlines Expands Its Network in Collin County

Avelo Airlines has proudly announced its expansion in Collin County, Texas, by adding two exciting new destinations in Florida from the McKinney National Airport (DTX). This move marks a significant growth for the airline, reaching a total of 11 nonstop flight options from DTX. Starting from December 16, 2026, Avelo will provide service to Sarasota/Bradenton (SRQ), followed shortly by West Palm Beach (DJT) on December 17. This initiative not only enhances travel options for the local community but also aligns with Avelo's goal of making air travel more accessible and affordable.

A Commitment to Affordable Travel

With one-way fares starting as low as $69, Avelo remains steadfast in its commitment to providing budget-friendly air travel. The addition of these two destinations from McKinney coincides with an increase in flight frequency to Las Vegas, raising the number of weekly flights to six during the peak holiday season. This expansion showcases Avelo's responsiveness to passenger demand and its aim to facilitate smoother travel experiences for its customers.

Andrew Levy, founder and CEO of Avelo Airlines, highlighted the remarkable support from North Texas, noting that the region's demand reinforces the airline's commitment to service expansion. By offering direct routes to Sarasota/Bradenton and West Palm Beach, Avelo aims to meet the growing needs of travelers in Collin County, one of the fastest-growing areas in the country.

Inauguration of New Flights

The inaugural service to the new Florida destinations will operate on a twice-weekly basis, with flights scheduled for Wednesdays and Saturdays to SRQ, and Thursdays and Sundays to DJT. This schedule allows travelers to plan weekend getaways and make the most of their vacation time. Alongside these new routes, Avelo will also launch flights to Denver, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Nashville by mid-December, further broadening its flight offerings from McKinney.

A Reliable Choice for Travelers

Since its launch in April 2021, Avelo Airlines has been dedicated to redefining the travel experience in the U.S., focusing on smaller, more convenient airports to enhance traveler comfort. With a fleet that includes Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft, Avelo prioritizes on-time performance and reliability, making it a compelling choice for travelers. The airline has quickly risen to prominence, flying more than 10.5 million customers across nearly 40 destinations, and has consistently received accolades for its efficient and customer-focused operations.

To support its expansion efforts in Collin County, Avelo is set to create approximately 150 new jobs at McKinney National Airport, encompassing a variety of roles from pilots to airport personnel. This investment not only strengthens Avelo's operational presence in the area but also contributes to the local economy.

Future Endeavors

As Avelo Airlines continues to grow, it remains committed to enhancing customer experiences through innovative travel solutions. The introduction of the Avelo PLUS membership program allows travelers to access exclusive benefits and discounted fares, ensuring that more customers can enjoy hassle-free travel.
