Building on nearly three years of serving the Bay Area’s Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS), Avelo Airlines announced it is establishing STS as its newest base of operation. The base, which will open May 1, will enable Avelo to expand the everyday low fares, convenience and reliability it introduced to the region in April 2021.
Avelo Airlines Founder, Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “STS is our kind of hometown airport – friendly, fast and easy. As the inaugural destination of Avelo’s first flight in 2021, the Bay Area has a special spot in our history. Since then, more than 300,000 Customers have experienced Avelo’s everyday low fares, convenience and reliability flying to and from STS. We are very excited about the platform for growth the airport offers Avelo, and the meaningful employment and economic impact our investment will bring to the region.”
Avelo will initially base two Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft at STS. Avelo expects to employ as many as 50 Crewmembers at STS when the base opens in May. This includes Pilots, Flight Attendants and Aviation Maintenance Technicians. Candidates can learn more about Avelo career opportunities by visiting AveloAir.com/Careers.
Avelo serves four nonstop destinations from STS:
- Bend / Redmond, OR (RDM)
- Las Vegas, NV (LAS)
- Los Angeles / Burbank, CA (BUR)
- Palm Springs, CA (PSP)
Avelo offers flights to RDM twice weekly (Mondays and Fridays); LAS up to four days per week (Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays); BUR every day except Wednesdays; and PSP up to four days per week (Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays).
Sonoma County Airport Manager Jon Stout said, “We’re very excited for the next chapter in this great partnership with Avelo Airlines. We’re looking forward to the new connections and operations this will bring to our community, and all the benefits of an Avelo base here at STS.”
