BROWNSVILLE, Texas – Buckle up, Texas! Avelo Airlines is rolling out the red carpet for the Lone Star State, launching nonstop service between Brownsville-South Padre Island International Airport (BRO) and Los Angeles and Orlando. The Houston-based airline, making its Texas debut, is the only carrier offering nonstop flights to these destinations from South Texas.
"We're excited to showcase Avelo's low fares, reliability and caring service to our home state with Brownsville as our first Texas market," said Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO, Andrew Levy. The flights, scheduled to operate twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, come with tantalizingly low, one-way fares starting at just $89.
Avelo's strategic positioning provides not just an economic boost to Brownsville, but also convenience for SpaceX employees. The airline's routes conveniently connect SpaceX's Boca Chica spaceport with the company's L.A. headquarters and Florida's Space Coast.
Passengers can enjoy the spacious comforts of Avelo's Boeing 737 aircraft, a noticeable step-up from the regional planes typically serving BRO. The roomier planes offer a more comfortable seating experience and ample overhead carry-on space.
Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR), Avelo's destination in L.A., is an oasis of convenience amidst the hustle and bustle of Southern California. The airport, surrounded by iconic beaches and world-class dining and shopping, offers a refreshingly smooth travel experience.
Meanwhile, Orlando International Airport (MCO) is a gateway to the theme park capital of the world, with endless excitement and unforgettable adventures just minutes away. A trip to Orlando promises a memorable vacation for families, couples, solo travelers and groups of friends.
Since taking to the skies in 2021, Avelo Airlines has prided itself on its vision to save its customers money and time, offering an affordable and convenient flying experience. They have flown more than two million customers on over 18,000 flights, while achieving the lowest flight cancellation rate and the second-best on-time performance in the U.S. airline industry in the first quarter of 2023.
Avelo Airlines, with its unique Soul of Service culture, ensures a warm and caring experience for all its passengers. "This partnership reflects our city's progressive spirit and commitment to fostering connections with the wider world," said City of Brownsville Mayor, John Cowen.
Texas, the wait is over! It's time to say hello to Avelo.
