ALBANY, N.Y. July 24, 2024 — Avelo Airlines announced today its largest expansion in the company’s history. Avelo Airlines will launch a new nonstop route this fall between Albany International Airport (ALB) and Charlotte’s Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (USA), located just minutes from Charlotte.

Beginning November 7, 2024, Avelo will operate this route twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays, utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Low introductory one-way fares between ALB and USA start at $62*. Travelers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.

Avelo now serves two nonstop destinations from Albany, Charlotte / Concord joins the current nonstop service to The Research Triangle’s Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU).

Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “We are proud to announce a new nonstop route between ALB and Charlotte / Concord, as we continue to showcase our convenient, affordable and reliable travel to Albany. This new service will make visiting the Queen City an easy and affordable experience. This exclusive nonstop service will also make enjoying Albany’s rich history, world-class museums, historic homes and scenic outdoor adventures a fast and seamless journey for Charlotte area travelers.” 

Albany International Airport CEO Phil Calderone said, “Avelo Airlines has been a welcomed edition at ALB and we’re excited that they will be offering another nonstop service option for passengers wishing to travel to the ‘Tar Heel State.’ Known for its textile industry, iconic NASCAR racetrack, and close-proximity to the City of Charlotte, this new nonstop route to Concord-Padgett Regional Airport will quickly connect ALB’s passengers to this popular destination. I want to thank Avelo Airlines for their continued partnership, and we look forward to working together further to serve air travelers from the Capital Region and beyond.

America's Most Conveinent Airline

Since taking flight on April 28, 2021, Avelo has flown over five million Customers on over 40,000 flights. Today Avelo serves 52 destinations spanning 23 states, Puerto Rico and two international countries: Jamaica and Mexico.

Avelo has unlocked a new era of convenience, choice, and competition by flying unserved routes to primarily underserved communities across the country. Every route has at least one small, easy to use airport. This makes every Avelo journey a smooth, easy, and more enjoyable experience than contending with the crowds, congestion and long walks at larger airports. 

Avelo is distinguished by its industry-leading reliability. In the first half of 2024, Avelo ranked #1 in on-time performance and achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate in the industry. These results are reported by Anuvu, a leading aviation data services company also utilized by The Wall Street Journal for the publication’s annual airline ranking. Anuvu’s complete industry results and rankings are available at AveloAir.com.

Avelo Customers can always change or cancel their itineraries with no extra fees. Additionally, families can travel with ease knowing every child 14 and under will be automatically seated with an accompanying adult at no additional cost.

Avelo offers advanced seat assignments for sale. One third of its seats are extra leg room seats, ranging from 32 inches to more than 36 inches, offering a more comfortable experience for Customers who value more space. In addition to advance seat assignments, Avelo offers several unbundled travel-enhancing options that give Customers the flexibility to pay only for what they value, including priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on overhead bags, and bringing a pet in the cabin.
