Passengers on Avelo’s inaugural flight between IAD and HVN were welcomed with celebrations, including pizza from the renowned Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana of New Haven, and enjoyed the hospitality of Avelo Airlines Crewmembers on a nearly full flight.
In May, a group of over 100 Connecticut pizza makers, veterans, and community leaders traveled to Washington, D.C., via Avelo. During this visit, U.S. Representative Rosa L. DeLauro honored New Haven as “The Pizza Capital of the United States” in a special ceremony at the United States Capitol.
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “D.C. – it’s time to say hello to Avelo! We’re excited to take off in our nation’s capital and the surrounding region and showcase Avelo’s low fares, travel-friendly convenience and industry-leading reliability. Getting to Southern Connecticut and everything the greater New England and New York regions have to offer will now be easier than ever. This exclusive nonstop service also makes exploring the abundance of experiences our nation’s capital has to offer a fast and seamless journey for Connecticut visitors.”
Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Vice President for Airline Business Development Paul Bobson said, “We are pleased to welcome Avelo Airlines, our 43rd airline partner to Washington Dulles. This new direct connection from New Haven will offer seamless access to the heart of the National Capital Region, making it easier than ever to explore Washington’s iconic landmarks, attend business meetings and enjoy cultural attractions. Avelo’s affordable and convenient service, combined with the fast and frequent Silver Line train at Dulles is an ideal fit for value minded travelers flying to and from Washington D.C.”
Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro said, “I am so excited that Avelo will now offer my constituents flights to travel from New Haven to Washington, D.C.’s Dulles International Airport. Avelo is doing amazing work to connect Southern Connecticut’s travelers to our nation’s Capital, and I am thrilled that residents now have expanded options to visit and experience everything Washington, D.C. has to offer. Whether it be traveling to D.C. for business or recreation, including visiting the national monuments or even stopping by my office in the Capitol, travelers deserve options. Avelo is a great one to have.”
Nestled on Connecticut’s coast, Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) offers a convenient entry point to the 15 towns that comprise Greater New Haven. Its proximity to major highways and commuter railways ensures easy access to both New England and New York regions. HVN presents a smooth and straightforward alternative to larger airports, making travel to Southern Connecticut faster, easier, and more enjoyable.
New Haven, home to Yale University and Connecticut’s second-largest city, is a vibrant part of the New York metropolitan area. The city is undergoing a cultural and economic renaissance. Within walking distance from the New Haven Green, you’ll find over 100 unique restaurants catering to all tastes, along with a variety of theaters, museums, and shopping venues. In 2023, New Haven was featured on the New York Times “52 Places to Go” list, joining the ranks of cities like Auckland, London, and Istanbul. Whether visiting for family, friends, or leisure, New Haven, known as the Cultural Capital of Connecticut, has something for everyone.

Currently, Avelo flies to 49 destinations across 23 states and Puerto Rico, emphasizing convenience, choice, and competition. By focusing on unserved routes and primarily underserved communities, Avelo ensures that every route features at least one small, user-friendly airport, providing a hassle-free alternative to larger, busier hubs.
Avelo Airlines is renowned for its industry-leading reliability. In May, it ranked #1 in on-time performance and boasted the lowest flight cancellation rate, maintaining this top position for the second consecutive month. For the first five months of 2024, Avelo led all U.S. carriers in on-time performance and had the second-lowest cancellation rate. These metrics are reported by Anuvu, a prominent aviation data services company.
Avelo stands out for its customer-friendly policies. Passengers can change or cancel their itineraries without incurring extra fees, and families benefit from automatic seating arrangements, ensuring children 13 and under are seated with an accompanying adult at no additional cost. Avelo also offers advanced seat assignments, with one-third of its seats featuring extra legroom (32 to over 36 inches), enhancing comfort for those who value space.
Avelo provides a range of unbundled travel options, allowing customers to pay only for what they need. These options include priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on overhead bags, and the ability to bring pets in the cabin. Advanced seat assignments are available for purchase, catering to passengers seeking a tailored travel experience.
