Avelo Airlines Announces New Nonstop Service from Houston to Hartford, Connecticut

Low, one-way fares start at $98
Avelo is the only airline offering nonstop service from H-town to CT

HOUSTON, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avelo Airlines announced today it will begin exclusive nonstop service from Houston to Hartford, Connecticut beginning this fall. Hartford will be the second Connecticut destination Avelo serves from H-Town.

Low one-way fares start at $98*. Travelers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.

The Houston-based airline will offer nonstop service between H-Town's most convenient airport – William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) – and Hartford's Bradley International Airport (BDL). Avelo is the only airline offering nonstop service between Houston to the state of Connecticut.

Avelo will operate this route twice-weekly on Mondays and Fridays, beginning November 15^th – utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft.

Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, "We are excited to debut our second route from Houston. I am very encouraged by the response to our inaugural service between Houston and New Haven, CT, and I'm optimistic we'll see a positive response on both ends of this route, as well. We're already hearing from our Customers how excited they are about the convenience, affordability and reliability Avelo is introducing to Houston."

Last month, Avelo inaugurated service from HOU to Southern Connecticut's most convenient airport – Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN). Avelo operates twice weekly flights (Mondays and Fridays) between HOU to HVN.

Director of Aviation for Houston Airports Jim Szczesniak said, "It's exciting to see Avelo Airlines continuing to expand its service at Houston Airports with this new route to Hartford, Connecticut. This addition provides even more options for travelers seeking convenient and affordable connections between Houston and the Northeast. Following the success of their Hobby Airport to Tweed-New Haven route, this new flight further strengthens Hobby Airport's position as a leading regional travel hub."

Hartford – The Gateway to Northern Connecticut and New England
From its origins as a Connecticut River trading post in 1633, Hartford is the capital of Connecticut. It is known for its historical attractions, a thriving arts and entertainment center, a revitalized riverfront and beautiful parks and public gardens. It's home to the Mark Twain House & Museum where the lovable Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer were born in the imagination of celebrated author Mark Twain and immortalized on paper during the writer's Hartford years.

Hartford is also an easy gateway to many other Connecticut and New England points of interest.

Since taking flight on April 28, 2021, Avelo has flown nearly 5 million Customers on over 40,000 flights. Today Avelo serves 52 destinations spanning 23 states and two international countries: Jamaica and Mexico.

Avelo has unlocked a new era of convenience, choice, and competition by flying unserved routes to primarily underserved communities across the country.

These results are reported by Anuvu, a leading aviation data services company also utilized by The Wall Street Journal for the publication's annual airline ranking.
