Avelo Airlines is set to expand its network at Concord-Padgett Regional Airport, located near Charlotte, by introducing six new nonstop routes. This move marks the largest expansion in the company's history. With these additions, Avelo will offer seven total routes from the airport.

Starting this fall, Avelo will operate these routes twice weekly using Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. The airline is offering one-way fares starting at $52 from Concord-Padgett Regional Airport. Reservations can be made on AveloAir.com.

Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy expressed enthusiasm about the expansion: "USA – We’re growing again! We’re excited to grow in the Queen City and provide six new nonstop destinations to USA."

City of Concord Aviation Director Dirk Vanderleest highlighted the significance of this development for the region: "This is an exciting time for our growing city and airport...We’re thankful for our growing partnership with Avelo."

Cabarrus County CVB President and CEO Donna Carpenter also welcomed the announcement: "We’re thrilled that travelers from each of these destinations have an all-new way to connect to Cabarrus County, North Carolina."

The six new nonstop destinations are Albany, NY; Boston/Manchester, NH; Hartford, CT; Orlando/Lakeland, FL; Philadelphia/Wilmington, DE; and Rochester, NY. These services join Avelo's existing route to Southern Connecticut’s Tweed-New Haven Airport.

Since its launch on April 28, 2021, Avelo has served over five million customers across 52 destinations in 23 states as well as Puerto Rico and two international locations—Jamaica and Mexico. The airline emphasizes convenience by flying underserved routes with small airports that facilitate smoother travel experiences.

Avelo boasts industry-leading reliability with top rankings in on-time performance and low cancellation rates for early 2024 according to Anuvu data. The airline allows changes or cancellations without extra fees and offers family-friendly seating arrangements.

With a fleet of Boeing Next-Generation 737s serving popular destinations across various bases including Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) and Southern Connecticut’s Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN), Avelo aims to provide cost-effective travel solutions while enhancing customer experience through flexible options such as priority boarding and additional legroom seats.
