Avelo Airlines Opens 5th Base at Raleigh-Durham International Airport

Avelo Airlines opened its fifth base today at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). With the debut of Avelo’s new base, Avelo now serves seven nonstop destinations from RDU, including six new popular Florida routes.

Avelo began serving Southern Connecticut’s most convenient airport, Tweed-New Haven Airport, from RDU last year. Earlier this month, Avelo initiated service to Orlando and Tampa. Beginning tomorrow, Avelo will inaugurate service to Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Sarasota–Bradenton and West Palm Beach. Avelo will be the only airline serving Fort Myers, Sarasota–Bradenton and West Palm Beach nonstop from RDU.

One way fares from RDU start at just $49. Customers can make reservations at AveloAir.com. These routes will operate on Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft.
