Avelo: What Makes This New Airline Special? 

Last year in 2022 when I went to fly down to North Carolina from New Haven, there was 135 passengers onboard. This year in 2023, Idk how many passengers there will be today. I'll update this later.

Frontier, Allegiant, Sun Country, and Hawaiian all use terminal E at Logan. Most airports assign gates in the domestic terminals to specific airlines for exclusive use, so airlines pay for the gate even when they're not using it, but use a shared gate model in the international terminal where you only pay for a gate while using it to accommodate the international carriers that only have one or two flights a day. So domestic carriers that only have one or two flights a day may find the international terminal a cheaper option.

I was trying to clear my phones memory of stuff I'd backed up and I accidentally included the pizza footage in the process

@@ClassyWhale any us airlines start up this year

I did this last year!

Probably unlikely due to the lack of demand between the two. Maybe we could see GSP-MCO,TPA,FLL,SRQ, RSW, RDU, HVN…

@@AviationWithEli Actually there are a LOT of snow birds that have moved down from that area to the upstate of SC, and they often go back to visit their relatives, and the business aspect of things, since Wilmington DE is where a lot of banks are and that is where they incorporate out of.

I did not lose my luggage. Customer service was great but the web site was not. Honestly pretty average experience overall, nicer than Spirit or Frontier!

I think they'll merge with Sun Country and make MSP their third hub

@@ClassyWhale Interesting consideration, though I think Avelo is concentrating on organically growing their operations at this point rather than buying out another carrier. Sun Country has survived well flying contract cargo, under the radar seasonal routes, and aircraft lease outs…making steady profits along the way. The route system would bridge the opening, but at this point does Avelo really need to do so? And does Sun Country want to put themselves on the radar by making themselves bigger? If anything, the JetBlue/Spirit merger will help these smaller carriers expand on their own as they can operate with lower costs. BUT…Avelo appears to have plans to grow to at least 55 aircraft by the end of next year. That could put them on the radar to be bought by a bigger carrier looking for an east coast north/south system. The New Haven hub is a gold mine…it’s own market plus ability to poach NYC…not to mention a new terminal coming. If anybody were to grab Avelo, it would be Alaska Airlines…they would get presence in the east coast, eliminate competition on the west coast, and connect the east coast routes easily to their own network. That and a common fleet of 737’s.

I don't know off the top of my head, but it's on the web site!

Yes

It's not burnt, it's charred.

Thanks!

At 04:00, you had the same flight attendant I had when I recently flew Avelo HVN-MYR. Friendly enough, but the XJ FAs don't have to work too hard with in-flight service, that's for sure. Didn't see them at all after the safety briefing until we were on final approach and they were checking seats/seatbelts in the cabin. BTW, I think it is pronounced "Av-VELL-oh", with vell rhyming with bell. At least, that's how the Avelo staff said it for my flight.
