Reading Time: 3 minutesAvelo Airlines announced today the launch of exclusive nonstop service from Houston to Hartford, Connecticut, starting this fall. Hartford will be the second Connecticut destination served by Avelo from Houston.
The Houston-based airline will provide nonstop service between Houston’s most convenient airport, William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), and Hartford’s Bradley International Airport (BDL). Avelo is the sole airline offering nonstop flights from Houston to Connecticut.
Starting November 15th, Avelo will operate this route twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays, using Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft.
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “We are excited to debut our second route from Houston. I am very encouraged by the response to our inaugural service between Houston and New Haven, CT, and I’m optimistic we’ll see a positive response on both ends of this route, as well. We’re already hearing from our Customers how excited they are about the convenience, affordability and reliability Avelo is introducing to Houston.”
Last month, Avelo launched service from William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) to Southern Connecticut’s most convenient airport, Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN). Avelo operates twice-weekly flights between HOU and HVN on Mondays and Fridays.
Director of Aviation for Houston Airports Jim Szczesniak said, “It’s exciting to see Avelo Airlines continuing to expand its service at Houston Airports with this new route to Hartford, Connecticut. This addition provides even more options for travelers seeking convenient and affordable connections between Houston and the Northeast. Following the success of their Hobby Airport to Tweed-New Haven route, this new flight further strengthens Hobby Airport’s position as a leading regional travel hub.”
Hartford – The Gateway to Northern Connecticut and New England
Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, began as a Connecticut River trading post in 1633. Today, it is renowned for its historical attractions, vibrant arts and entertainment scene, revitalized riverfront, and beautiful parks and public gardens. Among its highlights is the Mark Twain House & Museum, where the beloved characters Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer were brought to life by Mark Twain during his years in Hartford.
Hartford also serves as a convenient gateway to many other attractions in Connecticut and New England.
Since its inaugural flight on April 28, 2021, Avelo Airlines has served nearly 5 million customers on over 40,000 flights. Today, Avelo connects 52 destinations across 23 states and two international locations: Jamaica and Mexico.
Avelo has ushered in a new era of convenience, choice, and competition by focusing on unserved routes to primarily underserved communities nationwide. Every route includes at least one small, easy-to-navigate airport, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable travel experience without the crowds, congestion, and long walks associated with larger airports.
Avelo stands out with its industry-leading reliability. In the first half of 2024, the airline ranked #1 in on-time performance and had the lowest flight cancellation rate in the industry, as reported by Anuvu, a leading aviation data services company also used by The Wall Street Journal for its annual airline ranking.
Avelo offers flexible travel options with no extra fees for changing or canceling itineraries. Families benefit from the policy that automatically seats children 14 and under with an accompanying adult at no additional cost.
For added comfort, Avelo provides advanced seat assignments, featuring extra legroom seats with space ranging from 32 to over 36 inches. Customers can also choose from several unbundled travel-enhancing options, such as priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on overhead bags, and in-cabin pet travel, allowing them to pay only for the services they value.
