The old guard at DFW International Airport will welcome a new colleague: Avelo.

The emerging airline announced Monday its first route to and from DFW: a direct flight to New Haven, Connecticut, a route no other airline offers.

The route will begin operations on March 7, 2025 and will be flown twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays, using Boeing 737 aircraft.

Avelo has been in its current form since 2021 and now offers ultra-low-budget flights to 54 destinations in the USA and Latin America. Previously, charter flights were operated under a different name.

The airline has 20 Boeing 737 jets in its fleet, flying primarily along the east and west coasts. In addition to the DFW route, Avelo on Monday also announced routes from the Connecticut airport to Detroit, Jacksonville and Portland, Maine, as well as to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

“This service makes visiting Southern Connecticut and all that the greater New England and New York regions have to offer easier than ever,” CEO Andrew Levy said in a statement. “We also look forward to making DFW’s thriving culinary scene, sports mecca and vibrant nightlife a quick and seamless journey for Connecticut travelers.”

Avelo joins Breeze, which debuted at DFW this year, Frontier and others as low-budget options for DFW fliers. The news comes weeks after Spirit, the largest ultra-low-cost carrier in North America, filed for bankruptcy.
