Avelo Airlines Takes Flight to Orlando from Greenville / Spartanburg
Avelo kicks off busy summer travel season with $19 fares to Philly and $39 fares to Orlando
GREER, S.C.; June 7, 2023 — Avelo Airlines today takes flight from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) to Orlando’s most convenient airport, Orlando International Airport (MCO). Avelo’s service at GSP ushers in a new era of affordable, convenient and reliable air service for the region.
Additionally, Avelo announced it is kicking off the busy summer travel season with two irresistibly low summer fares. The airline is offering a $19* one-way fare to Philadelphia and the greater Delaware Valley through the region’s most convenient and travel-friendly gateway – Wilmington Airport (ILG). Avelo is also offering a $39** one-way fare between GSP and Orlando. Customers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.
Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “GSP – it’s officially time to say hello to Avelo! We’re excited to introduce Upstate S.C. to Avelo’s low fares, industry-leading reliability and caring service. With hometown airport access to Orlando, and the addition of routes to New Haven and South Philly later this month, travel from GSP is now easier than ever. And with the irresistibly low summer fares we announced today, taking that summer vacation to Orlando, Philly or the greater Delaware region is now more affordable than ever.”
Nonstop service between GSP and Orlando begins today. Avelo will initially operate this route twice-weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays before switching to Mondays and Fridays on June 23. Avelo is the only airline offering nonstop jet service to MCO.
Avelo will also begin twice weekly service to two additional popular destinations on June 22: Southern Connecticut’s Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) and the Philadelphia / Delaware Valley’s Wilmington Airport (ILG) – a convenient, easy and relaxing alternative to Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). All three new routes will operate on Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft.
GSP International Airport President and CEO Dave Edwards said, “We are excited to welcome Avelo Airlines to Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. Avelo’s new nonstop jet service to Orlando and the Philly / Delaware Valley region provide greater connectivity and a new low-fare option for travel to and from the Upstate South Carolina region. We look forward to growing with our new airline partner – Hello Avelo!”
