Avelo Airlines has made a home at Wilmington Airport (ILG) in New Castle, Delaware and they have recently announced an expansion creating nonstop flights to nine new destinations … just 90 days from when the airline first took off out of the First State. With more than 25,000 customers coming through ILG’s doors over the past few months, the addition of a second Boeing 737 aircraft will assist the Wilmington base with its exponential growth. Now spanning five states, Avelo has announced new routes starting as low as $39 (one way).

These new destinations are in addition to the five existing Florida destinations Avelo currently serves from ILG: Orlando (MCO), Tampa (TPA), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Fort Meyers (RSW), and West Palm Beach (PBI). This represents Avelo’s largest route expansion from a single base since the airline took flight two years ago.  

It’s a big change for a small state. “The strong demand we are generating out of the gate is a testament to the convenient, affordable, reliable and caring air service Avelo has introduced to the Delaware Valley,” says Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy.  

“We are grateful that Avelo will be expanding service here in Delaware, and we are excited to welcome more visitors to the First State,” says Delaware Governor John Carney.  

Wilmington Airport is conveniently located a short drive from Philadelphia – offering a refreshingly smooth, simple and travel-friendly alternative hometown airport experience. ILG’s adjacency to multiple major highways makes it the Delaware Valley’s most convenient and travel-friendly airport, encompassing portions of four states: Delaware, Southeastern Pennsylvania, South Jersey and the northern Eastern Shore of Maryland.  

Avelo Airlines was founded with a vision to help its customers save money and time. Since taking flight on April 28, 2021, Avelo has flown more than two million customers on over 17,000 flights. Avelo serves 43 destinations spanning 24 states. The airline has unlocked a new era of convenience, choice and competition in air travel by flying unserved routes to primarily underserved communities across the country. At least one airport on every Avelo flight is a small hometown airport – making every Avelo journey easier and more enjoyable.
