Avelo Airlines today celebrated its second international destination with the start of service between Hartford’s Bradley International Airport (BDL) and Cancun, Mexico (CUN).
Avelo operates this route to Cancun twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft.
This month Avelo has debuted six new routes at BDL: North Carolina’s Charlotte / Concord (USA) and Wilmington (ILM), Florida’s Daytona Beach (DAB) and Orlando / Lakeland (LAL), Houston via Hobby (HOU).
Saturday, the airline inaugurated service to its first international destination: Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ).
Andrew Levy, Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO said: “Our inaugural international service to Cancun, and last week’s Montego Bay, is a significant milestone for Avelo.
“Our purpose is to Inspire Travel, and the addition of international service to our expansive route network offers our Customers even more choices.
“As the only current airline offering nonstop service to Mexico from Connecticut, we are leading the way in making it convenient and affordable for our Customers to enjoy Cancun and the nearby vacation destinations of Tulum and Cozumel.”
Ned Lamont, Connecticut Governor said: “The growth of Avelo Airlines and the addition of new routes at Bradley is only helping to increase the reputation of our state’s flagship airport as one of the best and most convenient airports in the northeast.”
