Avelo Airlines announced 18 new routes and three new destinations as part of what the startup carrier billed as “the largest expansion in the company’s history.”

The airline’s first international destinations include: Montego Bay, Jamaica and Cancun.

Avello also doubled down on Connecticut, where the carrier said it will expand to Hartford’s Bradley International Airport (BDL) with seven new routes this fall. The Hartford service will be in addition to the 26 routes it already flies from Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN) — the carrier’s largest East Coast base, about 60 miles to the south.

Avello said its “dual operations” at HVN and BDL will help it operate a “regional base” across the state. Combined, Avello will now offer a total of 33 routes to 28 destinations from the two Connecticut airports.

Other big winners in Avelo’s expansion were Florida’s Lakeland Linder International Airport (LAL) and Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (USA) north of Charlotte.

Lakeland created seven new routes, including service to Atlanta; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Wilmington, Delaware. Located about 60 miles west of Orlando International Airport (MCO) and about 40 miles east of Tampa International Airport (TPA), Avelo is currently the only airline flying from the airport. Avelo serves all three airports, giving it blanket coverage along that 100-mile corridor.

In North Carolina, Avelo will add five new routes to an airport in Concord, about 18 miles north of uptown Charlotte. Avelo is just one of two airlines at the airport — Allegiant Air is the other — and its new service will significantly increase its presence there. All other airlines serving Charlotte use the much busier Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT).

The full list of Avelo’s 18 new routes is below.
