ALBANY, N.Y.; Nov. 7, 2024 — Avelo Airlines today launched exclusive nonstop service today between Albany International Airport (ALB) and Charlotte’s Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (USA), located just minutes from Charlotte. Celebratory one-way fares start at $56*.
Avelo is the first and only airline offering nonstop service between Albany and Concord. Beginning today, Avelo will operate this route twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Travelers can book at AveloAir.com.
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “We are excited to launch another link between New York’s capital and the Carolinas. Our purpose at Avelo is to inspire travel with affordable, reliable and convenient experiences: the airports at Concord and Albany both deliver on that score, with shorter lines and fewer crowds, and we are confident travelers from across the Charlotte region as well as those in upstate New York will value this new route.”
Albany County Airport Authority Board Chair Sam Fresina said, “We remain committed to working with our airline partners to ensure that we’re always striving to provide the best possible service to air travelers who utilize ALB for their travel needs. North Carolina remains a popular destination and we’re excited that Avelo Airlines will now be providing nonstop service to Concord-Padgett Regional Airport, an airport within close-proximity to the City of Charlotte and other various attractions within ‘The Tarheel State.’ 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.
Avelo has flown more than 15,000 Customers on over 100 flights since starting service in Albany. With the addition of this new route to Charlotte / Concord (USA), Avelo will serve two destinations from ALB. USA joins fellow North Carolina destination, Raleigh / Durham (RDU).
America’s Most Convenient Airline
Since taking flight on April 28, 2021, Avelo has flown more than 5.7 million Customers on over 45,000 flights. Today Avelo serves 49 cities spanning 23 states and Puerto Rico, as well as two international destinations: 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. Year-to-date, Avelo ranks #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.
