Avelo Airlines is expanding its route map by adding three new routes and a new city in New York. The ultra-low-cost carrier will fly from Raleigh-Durham International Airport to Albany International Airport, and from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport to Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. These new routes mark Avelo's continued growth and expansion in the airline industry.
Allegiant Air announces 10 new routes across 14 cities, with bases in Los Angeles and Knoxville, Tennessee, each landing three new nonstop routes. The expansion includes service from secondary airports such as Chicago Rockford International Airport and MidAmerica St. Louis Airport, catering to underserved markets and offering nonstop service on all 10 new routes.
Spirit Airlines is offering voluntary exit packages to salaried employees as part of its cost-cutting measures due to ongoing financial strains. The airline has been facing weak off-peak demand and has had to ground aircraft for inspections. CEO Ted Christie stated that tough decisions are necessary to return to profitability, and the voluntary exit program aims to right-size the organization. The move comes as JetBlue Airways attempts to acquire Spirit, a deal currently being challenged by the Justice Department.
Avelo Airlines is set to launch its services from Manchester Boston Regional Airport, starting with flights to Raleigh-Durham in North Carolina on June 20. The budget carrier is known for offering discounted flights for weekend getaways from small airports. Tickets for the first flight start at less than $40. The service will be available on Thursdays and Sundays, making Avelo the airport's fifth airline. Travel and tourism are expected to drive the economy in New Hampshire.
