Avelo Airlines Lands in Lexington with Two Nonstop Routes to the Sunshine State
Introductory one-way fares to Orlando and Tampa start at $39
LEXINGTON, KY.; July 28, 2022 — Avelo Airlines today announced it will begin serving Lexington, Kentucky this fall with exclusive nonstop service to two popular Florida destinations. Avelo will begin serving Orlando starting October 19 and Tampa beginning November 12.
Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Lexington– Say hello to Avelo! We are excited to add Kentucky’s Bluegrass region to Avelo’s nationwide network of popular destinations. Getting to the Sunshine State is now easier and more affordable than ever. These two sun-soaked destinations are an ideal fall and winter retreat. Avelo’s refreshingly convenient, reliable and caring service ensures our Central Kentucky Customers will arrive relaxed and ready for some fun in the sun.”
Introductory fares between Lexington’s Blue Grass Airport (LEX) and Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Tampa International Airport (TPA) start at $39*. Customers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.
Blue Grass Airport President and CEO Eric Frankl said, “To say that we are excited about this announcement would be an understatement. An ultra-low-cost airline like Avelo—providing service between Lexington and two Florida destinations—will be a tremendous benefit for central Kentucky passengers. The last several years in the aviation industry have been an enormous challenge for many communities, including ours, as air service continues to recover. For Avelo to make this announcement in the current environment is truly remarkable, and we are very appreciative.”
