Avelo Airlines Boosts Travel Options with New Routes

Avelo Airlines has just announced a significant expansion to its flight network, introducing two new routes from Chicago as well as new connections between Central Florida and Detroit. Additionally, the airline is welcoming back three highly requested routes to both Atlanta and Nashville. These developments mark an exciting chapter for Avelo as it seeks to enhance travel accessibility and cater to the needs of its customers.

Starting March 12, 2026, travelers from Chicago will have the benefit of nonstop flights to O'Hare International Airport (ORD) four times a week, reflecting Avelo's commitment to providing convenient travel options. This initiative aligns with Avelo's mission to inspire travel, making it easier for customers to reach their desired destinations.

Growing Network and Affordable Fares

Avelo, regarded as one of America’s most reliable airlines, is introducing one-way fares for as low as $34, making flying more accessible than ever. This expansion comes as Avelo continues to grow its Central Florida operations by adding a second aircraft stationed at Lakeland International Airport (LAL) in February 2026. Furthermore, a third aircraft will join their Philadelphia/Delaware Valley base at Wilmington Airport (ILG) in early March 2026.

Avelo's commitment to affordability and convenience sets it apart in the competitive airline market. With these new routes, passengers will enjoy the benefits of flying with the only airline offering nonstop service for these particular flights.

From the Wilmington Airport (ILG), travelers will be able to access 16 nonstop destinations, including:

• - Chicago (ORD): Launching on March 12, 2026, with four flights per week on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
• - Atlanta (ATL): Resuming on February 12, 2026, with five flights weekly.

In Charlotte at the Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (USA), Avelo will serve ten nonstop destinations, adding:

• - Chicago (ORD): Initiating on February 12, 2026, matching the frequency of flights from Wilmington.

From its Central Florida base at Lakeland International Airport (LAL), Avelo will operate:
