Andrew Levy, Chairman and CEO, Avelo Airlines, said:
We are excited to offer this new, convenient and affordable direct service between Southern Connecticut and Sarasota-Bradenton. With our very low fares and HVN’s unmatched convenience, traveling between Connecticut and The Sunshine State is easier than ever.
Situated along Florida’s picturesque southwest coast, Sarasota’s white-sand beaches, turquoise gulf waters and year-round outdoor lifestyle make it the perfect winter escape. In addition to Sarasota’s postcard-perfect coastline, visitors enjoy flavor-erupting dining, world class shopping and a diverse arts and entertainment scene. From Longboat Key south to Venice, Sarasota is an ideal gateway for visitors seeking unique and memorable experiences – or simply a beautiful and quiet spot to recharge.
Rick Piccolo, President and Chief Executive Officer, Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, said:
We are thrilled that Avelo Airlines has chosen Sarasota Bradenton International Airport to be part of their air service network. With low fares and convenient nonstop service, passengers will have an affordable connection between two high-demand destinations. We look forward to welcoming Avelo Airlines to SRQ and we’re confident their service will be a great success and expand in the future.
Sean Scanlon, Executive Director, Tweed-New Haven Airport Authority, said:
For years we’ve talked about expanding air service to and from Connecticut and Avelo’s decision to add non-stop service between Sarasota and New Haven – their sixth destination at the airport – will finally give customers an affordable and reliable option to get from the gulf coast to growing hub in New England.
Meanwhile, Avelo recently announced a new route between Los Angeles and Tucson, Arizona.
