"Avelo Airlines is a new low-cost carrier launched by Andrew Levy, aimed at price-sensitive fliers, offering leisure travelers a smooth way to get where they want through smaller, more convenient airports in major markets. The airline operates its first flight from Hollywood Burbank Airport in Los Angeles to Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County in Santa Rosa, becoming the first new mainline carrier in the U.S. in 15 years. Avelo Airlines plans to use secondary airports in larger markets to attract customers looking for point-to-point flights to vacation spots like national parks, ski areas, and wine regions. The airline has announced its intention to set up its first East Coast hub at Tweed New Haven Airport in Connecticut and is investing in modernizing the airport. Avelo offers low fares starting at $19, with additional fees for seat selection, baggage, and boarding preferences. The airline focuses on customer service and aims to build a purposeful culture with its 'Soul of Service' ethos." - Travel + Leisure Editors
