Avelo Airlines Announces Nonstop Flights from New Haven to Washington, D.C.

Avelo Airlines is set to launch nonstop service between Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) and Washington, D.C.’s Dulles International Airport (IAD) this summer. The new route, beginning on July 12, 2024, will offer twice-weekly flights on Mondays and Fridays. This addition marks Avelo's 26th nonstop route from HVN, the highest number for any airline in Connecticut.

The announcement was made during the Airports Council International’s JumpStart® Air Service Development Conference, highlighting Avelo's commitment to expanding its network. Introductory fares for the new route start at $46 one-way, available for booking on Avelo's website.

Avelo's founder and CEO, Andrew Levy, expressed excitement over the new route, emphasizing the convenience and affordability it offers to Southern Connecticut residents. This service aims to enhance travel options for both leisure and business travelers heading to the nation's capital.

Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro both praised the announcement, noting its potential to boost the region's economic growth and connectivity. The new route is expected to stimulate local business activities and provide greater accessibility for residents.

Passengers traveling on this route will experience the convenience of Dulles International Airport, known for its dedicated access road and efficient transit options, including the Silver Line train service. This makes it an ideal choice for travelers looking to explore Washington's numerous attractions, from historic landmarks to cultural institutions.

With the introduction of this new route, Avelo Airlines not only strengthens its presence in Connecticut but also enhances travel connectivity to one of the most vibrant and historically rich cities in the United States.
