Discount carrier Avelo Airlines is entering the Atlanta market with flights from its base in New Haven, Connecticut.
The service is scheduled to start May 2 with four flights a week on Boeing 737 jets between Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Tweed-New Haven Airport.
Avelo said its introductory one-way fares on the route start at $72 for a limited number of flights and seats booked by Feb. 13. It charges extra fees for both carry-on overhead bags and checked bags, as well as for advance seat assignments and some other services.
The ultra low-cost carrier will be the only airline to offer flights on the route between Atlanta and the small airport in southern Connecticut.
Houston, Texas-based Avelo launched service in 2021 and was founded by Andrew Levy, a former executive at airlines Allegiant Air and United Airlines. According to his online bio, Levy started his aviation career at ValuJet and has a law degree from Emory University.
Avelo operates flights from several bases around the United States, including Tweed-New Haven Airport in Connecticut; Orlando International Airport in Florida; Wilmington, Delaware; Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Burbank, California.
