Avelo Airlines announced Tuesday that it is adding 13 new routes, including two out of Dulles International Airport. The budget airline is adding service between Dulles and both Wilmington and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Beginning May 23, Avelo will begin service between Dulles and Concord-Padgett Regional Airport near Charlotte. It will begin service to Wilmington International Airport on June 13. It will be the only carrier offering nonstop service between Dulles and these two airports on a Boeing 737 aircraft. Some one-way fares start at $39.
Avelo has been operating flights in and out of Dulles since last July. The Houston-based airline currently operates a fleet of 20 aircraft flying to 56 destinations in the United States, Jamaica, Mexico, Dominican Republic. Its recent expansion also includes service to the Bahamas out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport. “These 13 new routes offer our customers even more choices, making it easier and more affordable than ever for our customers to get where they want to go,” Avelo CEO Andrew Levy said in a release.
The news comes among other low-cost carriers adding flights out of Dulles. Last month, Contour Airlines, a Tennessee-based budget airline, announced nonstop flights to Dulles from Macon, Georgia, and Plattsburgh, New York.
Other low-cost airlines that began offering flights out of Dulles last year include Frontier in November and Breeze Airways in September.
