Avelo Airlines: Helping Travelers and Hiring Amid Spirit Airlines Shutdown
Avelo Airlines has stepped up to support travelers affected by the unexpected shutdown of Spirit Airlines by announcing substantial fare discounts and job opportunities for displaced employees. Effective immediately, the airline is offering an incredible discount of
75% off base fares across its network, allowing customers to continue their travel plans without significant financial strain.
To help ease the transition for Spirit’s customers, Avelo is not only providing reduced fares but also facilitating a streamlined status match into its
Avelo PLUS membership program for eligible Spirit Saver$ Club members. This promotional offer is designed to attract travelers who find themselves navigating through the aftermath of Spirit Airlines' sudden closure. Customers can utilize the
promo code TRYAVELO for their bookings, valid for travel until _November 17, 2026_, and the discount will apply to routes previously serviced by Spirit Airlines.
Discounts and Membership Benefits
For customers whose travel plans were disrupted, Avelo's reduced fares can be a beacon of hope. The
promo code can be applied for new bookings at
AveloAir.com. This initiative not only aims to retain the customer base facing difficulties but also encourages loyalty through enhanced services. The matching of status for Spirit Saver$ Club members is a notable gesture, as it offers a year of exclusive benefits including limited-time off fares, priority boarding, and promotional deals extending to companions traveling with them.
Avelo Airlines is committed to growing its footprint amid these changing dynamics. It currently operates in 34 destinations across 14 states, with plans to expand its footprint significantly in the coming months. A pivotal point of this expansion includes the introduction of new routes to cities popularized by Spirit Airlines, such as San Juan, Ft. Lauderdale, and Orlando—key markets which were traditionally well-traveled routes by the now-defunct airline.
Job Opportunities for Displaced Spirit Employees
Recognizing the impact of Spirit’s closure on employment, Avelo Airlines is opening its doors to displaced Spirit employees by actively recruiting new Crewmembers. Potential applicants have the opportunity to learn about job openings at recruiting events and can also submit applications online. As Avelo expands its operations, it aims to create an inclusive environment that accommodates talent from various backgrounds, encouraging those impacted by Spirit's bankruptcy to consider joining a family committed to customer service and operational excellence.
