Avelo Airlines Expands Winter Flight Offerings to Puerto Rico and Florida

Avelo Airlines announced it would launch two new nonstop routes from Wilmington Airport in Delaware and offer special introductory one-way fares.

Located just a few miles from Philadelphia, Avelo’s new flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Sarasota-Bradenton, Florida, are scheduled to launch in November. Once the service debuts, the airline will serve 15 nonstop destinations from its Philadelphia-Delaware Valley base.

“Since taking flight in February, more than 125,000 Customers have discovered the magical convenience, reliability and affordability of flying Avelo at Greater Philly’s most travel-friendly airport — Wilmington Airport,” Avelo CEO Andrew Levy said.

“Today’s historic service expansion is the latest example of the smooth and seamless travel experience Avelo is bringing to the four-state Delaware Valley region,” Levy continued. “With the second-largest Puerto Rican community in the U.S., Avelo is making it easier than ever for friends and family to reconnect on both ends of this exciting new Caribbean route.”

To celebrate the new routes, Avelo introduced limited-time, one-way fares between Wilmington and San Juan’s Luis Munoz Marín International Airport start at $99, while fares for flights between Delaware and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport start at $49.

Both new routes offer twice-weekly nonstop service, with Puerto Rico flights launching on November 15 and Florida starting on November 2. The new flights will utilize the 189-seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

“And with winter right around the corner, San Juan and Sarasota are the latest examples of how Avelo is inspiring travel across the region with an irresistible mix of popular destinations to choose from,” Levy said.

Avelo unveiled the new service during a ceremony at Wilmington Airport, which was hosted by Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) and Avelo and was attended by local and state political and community officials.
