Avelo

The ultra-low-cost carrier is slated to operate up to 88 peak daily flights in July, according to Cirium Diio schedule data.

Ultra low-cost airline Avelo on Wednesday launched a new nonstop route connecting Portland, Maine, and New Haven, Connecticut.

In a statement to AirlineGeeks on Monday, a spokesperson from Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Avelo did begin charter flights for the agency on Monday.

Avelo announced the addition of two new seating options, aimed at providing customers with increased space, the ultra-low-cost carrier said.

Over 32,000 people have signed a petition to boycott the carrier, claiming it aims to ‘profit off ICE flights’ during poor Q1 performance.

Since the start of operations in 2021, Avelo now serves 56 destinations, including a handful of international routes. The carrier plans to add more.

Dulles has seen a slew of new airlines in recent months, including Breeze, Avelo, and Aeromexico’s recently resumed service to Mexico City.

The ultra-low-cost carrier – which began flying in 2021 – is set to add more routes from its New Haven, Connecticut, base in 2025.

Avelo’s budding international network is set to grow again. The ultra-low-cost carrier plans to add more flights to the Caribbean next year.

The carrier has a total of eight 737-700s in active service along with 11 737-800s, all of which had previous operators.
