WILMINGTON — Avelo Airlines has resumed nonstop service between Wilmington Airport (ILG) and Nashville International Airport (BNA), offering the only direct flights between Delaware and Tennessee’s capital.
The route, which relaunched May 1, operates twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays using Boeing 737 aircraft.
“The return of Avelo’s nonstop service to Nashville from Wilmington Airport showcases the continued demand for convenient, affordable and industry- leading reliability,” said Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy.
“Our Customers have asked for its return, and we listened! Likewise, getting to the Philadelphia / Delaware Valley is now easier than ever for those in Music City. With 14 nonstop options, we continue to share Avelo’s low fares and over a dozen nonstop options with our Philadelphia / Delaware Valley Customers.”
