US low-cost airline Avelo Airlines has announced the opening of a new base at Wilmington International Airport (ILM) in the US state of North Carolina. With the new base comes seven new nonstop routes for the airline, which operates a fleet of 20 Boeing 737s.
The opening of the new base will see the airline commencing operations at its eighth base. Avelo already serves 55 cities spanning 23 states, as well as Puerto Rico and four international destinations including the Bahamas, Jamaica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic.
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “We continue to fulfill our purpose to Inspire Travel with the opening of Avelo’s Wilmington base and growing our network in these popular markets. These new routes enable Avelo to significantly expand the affordable, convenient, and reliable air service our customers value. Our investment in Wilmington and these additional routes exemplify our continued growth as we approach the fourth anniversary of Avelo’s inaugural flight.”
