Avelo Airlines Takes Flight from Nashville to New Haven

Avelo Airlines today begins serving its first Tennessee destination — Nashville — with nonstop service to Southern Connecticut. Avelo is the first airline offering nonstop flights between Music City and New Haven. Introductory one-way fares between Nashville International Airport (BNA) and Southern Connecticut’s most convenient airport — Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) — starting at $49* are available at AveloAir.com.

Avelo Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, «It’s officially time to say Hello Avelo, Nashville! We are excited to start our nonstop service to Southern Connecticut. With our low fares and HVN’s unmatched convenience, Avelo makes getting to Connecticut and all the region has to offer easier than ever. We look forward to connecting Music City to HVN and Avelo’s rapidly expanding national network of popular destinations.»

Nashville International Airport Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Robert Ramsey said, «The addition of this new nonstop flight to New Haven speaks volumes about the strength in air travel and the importance of strategic air service partnerships to meet the needs of passengers. Travelers are just one flight away from the ‘Cultural Capital of Connecticut‘ to Music City.»

The New Haven Way to Connecticut

Amidst the crowds, long lines, lengthy walks and traffic congestion encountered at other airports frequented by travelers to and from the region, HVN offers a refreshingly smooth and simple alternative hometown airport experience. HVN’s adjacency to multiple major highways and commuter railways make it Connecticut’s most convenient and easily accessible airport.

«We always said, ‘if we build it, they will come’ and since Avelo launched service last fall record numbers of people have been coming in and out of HVN,» said Sean Scanlon, Executive Director of Tweed-New Haven Airport. «We are so excited to be launching these new routes and for the bright future that is our growing partnership with Avelo.»

Best known as the home of Yale University, New Haven is the second largest city in Connecticut and is part of the New York metropolitan area. The coastal city has experienced—and continues to enjoy—a renaissance. Within an easy stroll from the New Haven Green are more than 100 distinctive restaurants, offering something for every palate, and the city abounds with theaters, museums, and shopping destinations to satisfy all interests and tastes.

New Haven has a rich cultural heritage, from museums and theatres to music festivals and entertainment throughout the year, including the New Haven Jazz Festival, the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and the Wooster Square Cherry Blossom Festival that regularly bring thousands of visitors to the city.
