Tweed New Haven Regional Airport

Breeze Airways has revealed plans to launch flights from Tweed New Haven Airport in southern Connecticut—a stronghold for rival Avelo Airlines.

Avelo Airlines, the carrier founded in 2021 by former Allegiant Air President Andrew Levy, has opened flights from Houston Hobby Airport (HOU).

Avelo Airlines is opening service between Washington Dulles (IAD) and Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN), operated twice weekly with a Boeing 737NG.

Avelo Airlines is adding four more routes from Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN), growing its original U.S. East Coast base to 21 destinations served.

The airline will open its seventh base at Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa, California on May 1.

Puerto Rico’s capital and largest city San Juan will be served from November.

The carrier is buttressing its MCO base, where it trains pilots and flight attendants.

The service will mark the carrier’s first flights to/from the state of New York.

The US startup now operates to 13 airports from Tweed-New Haven Airport.

Avelo Airlines is this week launching four new routes from Tweed New Haven, but the CEO of the airport’s management company feels the Southern Connecticut market remains underserved.

The carrier is adding a third aircraft base to its network.

The new routes will operate on Boeing Next-Generation 737-700 aircraft.

Six routes are being launched targeting leisure traffic to Florida.

Sarasota will be the sixth destination to which Avelo will fly from its New Haven, Connecticut base.

The Connecticut-Florida route will be the fifth connection the carrier is set to launch on the east coast this fall.

The carrier will operate flights from its Connecticut base to four Florida airports.

US startups Breeze Airways and Avelo Airlines are aiming to carve out a niche by serving the underserved.

Airport management firm Avports is teaming with startup Avelo Airlines to upgrade Connecticut’s Tweed New Haven Airport.

The carrier, which currently only serves the western US, will put money towards an ambitious modernization program at Tweed New Haven Airport.

As regional demand shrinks, cargo capacity grows.
