Avelo Airlines Launches Nonstop Flights to Key West from New Haven with a Unique Pie Exchange

Avelo Airlines Launches Nonstop Service to Key West

Avelo Airlines has officially commenced its nonstop flights from Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) to Florida's picturesque Key West International Airport (EYW). This exciting new route is the only nonstop connection between these two destinations, enhancing travel options for people in Southern Connecticut who want to escape to the vibrant Florida Keys.

To commemorate this launch, Avelo Airlines organized a unique event that celebrated the cuisine of both regions. Passengers on the inaugural flight were treated to delightful Key Lime tarts sourced from G Cafe Bakery, symbolizing Florida's iconic dessert. Additionally, they received ceremonial postcards and souvenir swag bags to mark the occasion. As the plane touched down in Key West, everyone on board participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking a new chapter in their travel journeys.

Avelo Airlines, known for its commitment to reliability and affordability since its inception in 2021, operates this new route twice a week—on Wednesdays and Saturdays—with Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Passengers can conveniently book their tickets via AveloAir.com.

Andrew Levy, Founder and CEO of Avelo Airlines, expressed enthusiasm about the new service saying, "The introduction of our nonstop route to the Florida Keys reflects the growing demand for convenient and affordable travel options in Southern Connecticut. This route not only provides easy access to Key West for Connecticut travelers but also opens the doors for visitors from Key West to explore everything New England offers."

Michael Jones, the new CEO of Tweed-New Haven Airport, added that this service would enhance travel convenience, melding the charm and welcoming nature of both destinations. He emphasized that Key West serves as a gateway to the Florida Keys, known for its rich fishing opportunities, diving sites, artistic offerings, historical significance, and distinctive cuisine.

Avelo Airlines has a well-established footprint from HVN, currently servicing over 30 nonstop destinations, including major cities like Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Orlando. With its operational base in Southern Connecticut, Avelo Airlines has successfully transported more than 8.3 million passengers since its launch, reflecting a commitment to enhancing regional travel connectivity.

In terms of customer satisfaction and reliability, Avelo has distinguished itself by ranking #1 in on-time performance and achieving a remarkably low flight cancellation rate in the airline industry, according to data from Anuvu—a leading aviation data service provider. This level of reliability speaks volumes to travelers who prioritize punctuality and dependability in their travel plans.

In an industry-first move, Avelo Airlines recently introduced Avelo PLUS, a membership program designed to offer frequent travelers exclusive benefits, including discounted fares, free priority boarding, and special promotions. This program illustrates Avelo's dedication to providing more value for its loyal customers.

Travelers can choose from various seating options like Standard, Stretch, and Stretch+ seats that offer enhanced comfort and legroom for a more pleasant journey. For families traveling with children 14 and younger, Avelo ensures that they can sit with their accompanying adults without additional charges, further enhancing its customer-friendly policies.

Avelo Airlines remains focused on inspiring travel by ensuring accessible and economical flight options. Their fleet is primarily composed of Boeing Next Generation 737 aircraft, with exciting plans to transition to Embraer 195-E2s, marking a significant upgrade in their service capacity and efficiency.

As Avelo Airlines continues to expand its operations, the addition of this nonstop link to Key West fosters connections between vibrant communities, allowing travelers from both regions to enjoy the best weather, culture, and culinary experiences they have to offer.
