Avelo Airlines is adding more flights to its home base of New Haven (HVN) this winter.

Starting in November, Connecticut’s airline will add a nonstop service to New Orleans (MSY) and more weekly frequencies to Puerto Rico.

“Avelo is proud to be Connecticut’s Airline and continue growth in New Haven with a new route to New Orleans, plus more Puerto Rico flights this winter and increased Customer capacity,” said Andrew Levy, CEO at Avelo.

Let’s take a more detailed look at Avelo’s New Haven expansion.

Avelo Connects New Haven and New Orleans

From November 14, Avelo will connect New Haven and New Orleans with a nonstop service.

“With New Haven’s focus on cultural equity and economic opportunity, New Orleans is an exceptionally important new destination,” said Justin Elicker, Mayor of New Haven.

The news comes just a week after Avelo announced a new route from Wilmington (ILG) to Atlanta (ATL) starting November 8.

Avelo’s arrival in the Big Easy heralds the addition of a brand new city to the airline’s route map.

The route will operate on Thursdays and Sundays with the following schedule.

Depart New Haven (HVN) 6:30 a.m. — Arrive New Orleans (MSY) 8:59 a.m.
Depart New Orleans (MSY) 10:14 a.m. — Arrive New Haven (HVN) 2:21 p.m.

New Orleans brings Avelo’s total number of destinations served from New Haven to 27.

Hot Tip:

Avelo has only been flying since April 2021, so here’s everything you need to know about the start-up airline from amenities to seats and customer service to baggage fees.

Increased Frequency to Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is having a moment, and Avelo is taking advantage of the increased interest in the popular year-round sunshine destination by adding more weekly nonstop services from New Haven.

From November 8, Avelo will ramp up weekly flights to San Juan (SJU) from 2 to 4 with operations scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

Bottom Line:

Avelo has expanded its fleet at New Haven to accommodate the increased frequencies to Puerto Rico and the newly added route to New Orleans.

Final Thoughts

The addition of a new destination, combined with the increase in frequency to Puerto Rico, is a testament to Avelo’s solid growth and success at its home base of New Haven.
