Avelo is led by Founder, Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy who served as longtime president of Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air. During his 14 years with Allegiant, he helped build one of America's most successful airlines. At Avelo, Levy is joined by several other former Allegiant leaders, including Chief Operating Officer Greg Baden, Head of Information Technology Todd Cinnamon and Head of Contracts Sean Hopkins.

"We are excited to add this second majestic Northern California destination to our Las Vegas schedule," said Levy. "The Humboldt Bay Area is the cultural center of the iconic Redwood Coast. Whether you want to soak in the region's distinctive Pacific coastline or immerse yourself in the towering redwood forests, there is something new here to discover for every outdoor enthusiast."

Humboldt County's unmatched natural beauty is complemented by lively arts and culture, as well as acclaimed food, wine, beer and spirits. The Redwood Coast is the perfect rural getaway for those seeking a refreshing and relaxing escape from the big city.

About 200 miles north of San Francisco on Hwy 101, the Redwood Coast boasts the world's tallest trees, the premier national and state redwood parks, six wild and scenic rivers, Victorian towns, and expansive, uncrowded beaches.

"The ACV Airport is the gateway to some of the most exciting outdoor adventures on the West Coast including the redwood forests and picturesque beaches," said County of Humboldt Aviation Director Cody Roggatz. "We are excited to provide direct access for the Las Vegas area to these natural treasures, in a moderate climate, at the always low prices provided by Avelo Airlines."

"I want to thank Avelo for its continued confidence in our community. Their expanded investment in air service is further evidence that Humboldt County's future is bright," said Gregg Foster, Executive Director of the Redwood Region Economic Development Commission. "This new service will provide a vital and convenient link between two great leisure and business destinations. We look forward to working with Avelo and local business and travel interests to ensure a durable and mutually beneficial partnership."

The flight will operate on Thursdays and Sundays. Flight 148 departs LAS at 5:25 p.m., arriving ACV at 7:25 p.m. Flight 147 departs ACV at 3:00 p.m., arriving LAS at 4:45 p.m.

"Avelo Airlines continues to expand its service between Las Vegas and unique California destinations, which is a win for our customers," said Chris Jones, McCarran International Airport Chief Marketing Officer. "Beyond bringing more travelers to Las Vegas, this new route will create more opportunities for local residents to experience the natural beauty of the North Coast of California and Redwoods National and State Parks."
