Avports LLC. CEO Jorge Roberts said, “We are excited that Avelo Airlines continues to expand flights connecting the people and communities of Southern Connecticut to new destinations across the country. These new routes from Avelo mark a significant milestone in Tweed-New Haven Airport’s ongoing efforts to provide more convenient, affordable, and efficient travel options.

Avelo is distinguished by its industry-leading reliability. In 2023, the airline achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate in the U.S. airline industry and ranked #2 in on-time reliability. These results are based on Anuvu’s third-party data platform (the same company and platform utilized by The Wall Street Journal for the publication’s annual best and worst airline ranking, -which excluded Avelo as well as other airlines in its coverage that did not meet the publication’s size threshold).
