Avelo Airlines Faces Criticism for Leaving Bradley Airport
Avelo Airlines, which recently announced the removal of all its flights from Bradley International Airport in Connecticut, is now marking its four-year presence at Tweed-New Haven Airport with a new offer for travelers. Since starting operations in Connecticut, Avelo claims to have transported over 3.8 million customers.
New Travel Deal at Tweed-New Haven Airport
The low-cost airline operates 28 nonstop routes from Tweed and has introduced a promotion offering 20% off base fares, plus extra exclusive discounts for Avelo PLUS members.
Connecticut Airport Authority's Reaction
Late last month, the Connecticut Airport Authority expressed strong disappointment with Avelo’s decision to leave Bradley International Airport. The authority was particularly upset by the cancellation of the state's sole nonstop flight to Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Avelo's Response to Criticism
“Like all business decisions we make, this exit was made based on facts – the revenues on the market did not cover the costs. Any other insinuation to the contrary is unfortunate, false and uninformed. We remain committed to serving the state of Connecticut through our low fares out of New Haven Tweed airport,” said an Avelo spokeswoman.
Summary
Avelo Airlines defends its strategic exit from Bradley Airport amid criticism, while promoting new travel deals from Tweed-New Haven Airport to maintain its foothold in Connecticut.
