Avelo Airlines Expands Routes from Manchester with New Nonstop Flights

Avelo Airlines Expands Nonstop Flight Options from MHT

Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) has exciting news for travelers in New Hampshire as Avelo Airlines is set to introduce two new nonstop flight routes in April 2025. These new destinations will connect travelers to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Wilmington, North Carolina. Avelo's expansion signifies a substantial growth opportunity for both the airport and the local travel market.

New Destinations

The flights to Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) will initiate on April 4, 2025, providing travelers a timely option for accessing the popular Grand Strand area. Additionally, service to Wilmington International Airport (ILM) will commence one day earlier, on April 3, 2025. This route will operate twice weekly, with introductory fares starting as low as $59 one way, making travel affordable for many.

In recent years, MHT has seen increased demand for nonstop services, with 6,250 passengers flying to Wilmington from the airport in 2024 alone. Average fares previously hovered around $218 each way, along with government taxes. Meanwhile, nearly 48,243 travelers chose Myrtle Beach during the same timeframe with average fares of about $86 each way.

Airport Director's Statement

Ted Kitchens, the Airport Director, expressed enthusiasm about the new routes. He highlighted the strategic importance of these connections for local residents and explained how they complement the wide range of recreational opportunities available in New Hampshire. “This expansion is a significant milestone for the Airport, and we are appreciative of Avelo's continued growth in the Manchester market,” Kitchens noted, underscoring how essential it is for residents to recognize the airport's recent achievements.

Economic Impact

The introduction of these routes from Avelo Airlines is expected to have a positive economic impact on the region. A report indicated that by facilitating direct flights to these popular destinations, MHT could help retain over $24 million in lost economic output and prevent $1.7 million in lost business profits across local enterprises. This prospect signals the positive potential for collaboration between the airport and low-fare airlines like Avelo.

MHT’s offerings now include nonstop flights to 19 destinations and one-stop options to over 250 locations worldwide, making it a competitive alternative to larger airports. With Avelo Airlines serving five nonstop destinations from MHT, it joins other carriers like American Airlines and Southwest in expanding flight accessibility for travelers.

Conclusion

As travel options continue to grow, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is poised to enhance its reputation as a convenient and efficient gateway to both domestic and international destinations. Avelo Airlines' commitment to connecting travelers to Myrtle Beach and Wilmington not only benefits passengers looking for convenient travel options but also strengthens New Hampshire's economic foundation. Residents can enjoy the ease of flying to some of the best vacation spots without the hassle of larger hubs, making MHT an attractive choice for their travel needs.
