Avelo Airlines to Launch Nonstop Service to Five Destinations From McKinney National Airport

Avelo Airlines announced that it would launch nonstop service to five destinations from McKinney National Airport.

The airline announced the move in a June 30 press release. According to the press release, service begins on Nov. 11, with nonstop flights to Las Vegas, Nevada, and four Florida cities, including Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Orlando, and Tampa.

Avelo is promising to bring convenience and affordability to North Texas travelers, with introductory one-way fares starting at $99. Bookings made through July will include the first checked bag free.

The flights will operate on 184-seat Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 jet aircraft based at DTX and the service will also create more than 100 new local jobs with the Texas-based airline.

Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, "Avelo was built for moments like this, and we are thrilled to be the launch and anchor airline at McKinney. Our everyday low fares, the ease of using DTX, and our consistent industry leading on-time performance are a winning combination for travelers."

He continued, "As a proud Texas-born company, we are excited to grow our presence in North Texas and Collin County, one of the fastest growing areas in America. Once you fly with us, you'll understand what we mean—if you know, you Avelo."

McKinney Mayor Bill Cox said, "The city of McKinney welcomes Avelo Airlines and the exciting new nonstop service it will provide from McKinney National Airport. As growth continues to reshape North Texas, McKinney is playing an increasingly important role in the region's future. This new service reflects the demand for convenient air travel closer to home and reinforces McKinney's position as a destination for residents, businesses, and investment."
