Avelo has taken a gamble on Las Vegas.

The rapidly expanding low-cost airline officially opened its newest base at Las Vegas-Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) on September 7, 2023.

“Vegas has something for everyone and Avelo’s affordability, convenience, and reliability will make getting to this popular destination easier than ever,” said Andrew Levy, Chairman and CEO at Avelo Airlines.

Here are the details on Avelo’s latest big development.

Avelo Establishes a Base in Las Vegas

Las Vegas officially became Avelo’s sixth base when the low-cost carrier based an aircraft at the Nevada airport on September 7, 2023.

“As they say, What Happens in Vegas, Can Only Happen in Vegas, and that makes Las Vegas a winning bet for our sixth base,” said Levy.

As no new base would be complete without some shiny new routes, Avelo will serve Sin City with nonstop flights to a total of 5 destinations including Bend, Oregon (RDM), Brownsville, Texas (BRO), Dubuque, Iowa (DBQ), Eureka, California (ACV), and Salem, Oregon (SLE).
