Avelo Airlines announces nonstop routes to Florida from Concord, starting at $49

Avelo Airlines will bring nonstop flights from the Concord-Padgett Regional Airport to three Florida destinations, the airline announced on Wednesday.

The new routes will go to Orlando, Fort Myers and Tampa with operations beginning in November, Avelo Airlines CMO Scott DeAngelo said. Each of the routes will be offering $49 one-way fares, he added.

“These new routes not only open the door to more sunny getaways, but also make travel easier and more accessible for families, vacationers and business travelers alike; further enhancing connectivity for the entire region,” DeAngelo added.

Avelo announced nonstop routes to Indianapolis and Cleveland from Concord last week.
