“We are proud to bring more nonstop service to the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware Valley region,” said Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy.
“These routes make visiting North Carolina’s Research Triangle and northeast Florida easier than ever. For over two years, we’ve inspired travel with affordable, convenient and reliable service at ILG and these new routes show our continued commitment to this region.”
Delaware River and Bay Authority Executive Director Thomas J. Cook also praised the airline’s expansion.
“We’re pleased that Avelo continues to expand its offerings at Wilmington Airport ILG with this week’s inaugural flights to Raleigh-Durham and Jacksonville,” Cook said. “ILG is the Delaware Valley’s airport of choice for travelers who are seeking reasonable fares, quality service, and a convenient airport experience. If you want to avoid the hassles of big city airports, Delaware’s Wilmington Airport has your ticket!”
In addition to the two new cities, Avelo also offers nonstop service from ILG to Myrtle Beach, Nashville, San Juan, Wilmington (N.C.), and nine cities across Florida.
