A Low-Fare Airline Is Quietly Pointing Itself at Puerto Rico

Avelo Airlines is launching five new routes in November 2026, all on Boeing 737-800s. The most notable is its debut at Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, with flights from Lakeland, Florida starting November 18 two times a week, and from New Haven, Connecticut starting November 19 three times a week.

Out of Concord, North Carolina, Avelo is adding three Florida routes: Orlando from November 18 with four weekly flights, Fort Myers from November 19 with three weekly, and Tampa from November 20 with two weekly. Frequencies on some routes are scheduled to dip slightly later in the month.

The Fort Myers schedule drops to two weekly flights from November 26, and New Haven to Aguadilla to two weekly from November 25, which suggests Avelo is testing demand around the Thanksgiving period before settling its winter pattern.

The schedule details come from AeroRoutes’ July report on the airline’s network, so travelers should confirm days and times with Avelo before booking. Separately, the airline’s New Haven to Houston Intercontinental service replaced Houston Hobby beginning September 21.
