ORLANDO, Fla. — Avelo Airlines announced Tuesday they are expanding their commercial air service from McKinney National Airport (DTX). They are adding non stop flights to four Florida cities including Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Orlando, and Tampa.
The flights will operate on 184-seat Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 jet aircraft, with introductory one-way fares starting at $99. The first checked bag will be free.
“We are thrilled to be the launch and anchor airline at McKinney. For Florida travelers, this new service offers a convenient, affordable way to reach one of the country’s fastest-growing regions without the hassle of navigating larger, more congested Dallas-area airports,” said Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy.
“Combined with our everyday low fares, the ease and convenience of flying through McKinney National Airport, and our industry-leading on-time performance, these routes deliver a travel experience our Customers will love.”
