Officials at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport announced that another airline will start operating flights to and from Atlanta in May.

As early as May 2, Avelo Airlines is expected to launch a new route from Atlanta to Tweed-New Haven Airport in Connecticut, according to airport officials.

Officials at Atlanta Airport claim that Avelo is the only airline operating nonstop service between Atlanta and Southern Connecticut.

“Atlanta – say hello to Avelo! We’re excited to introduce Atlanta to Avelo’s low fares, travel-friendly convenience and industry-leading reliability,” Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said in a statement. “Getting to Southern Connecticut and everything the greater New England and New York regions have to offer will now be easier than ever. This exclusive nonstop service will also make enjoying Atlanta’s abundance of vibrant urban and outdoor experiences a fast and seamless journey for Connecticut visitors.”

Four days a week, on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft will operate Avelo flights from Atlanta to Southern Connecticut.

“We are pleased to welcome Avelo Airlines and their new nonstop service to ATL,” said Airport General Manager Balram “B” Bheodari said. “This partnership offers a new cost-effective option for our business and leisure travelers to explore the beauty and attractions of Atlanta and Southern Connecticut.”

According to the release from the Atlanta Airport, Avelo began operating flights in April 2021 and currently serves flights to locations in 23 states as well as Puerto Rico.
