VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – Representatives from Avelo Airlines on Wednesday announced a new service route at Daytona Beach International Airport.
The airline will have a twice-weekly service to-and-from Daytona Beach International Airport from New Haven, Connecticut.
Though some customers have already bought seats, the flights begin June 22 — operating on Thursdays and Sundays — as Avelo works to add even more cities to its roster with flights as low as $49.

Courtney Goff, communications manager for Avelo, said the airline was proud to be Daytona Beach International’s newest.
“We’re so excited to be the newest carrier here in Daytona Beach, as well as the first low-fare carrier here, bringing great low fares and nonstop routes to New Haven, Connecticut, today. That’ll be our very first route out of Daytona Beach,” she said. “...Fun fact, whenever we post anything on social media or I check my inbox for people wanting new routes, it is always Daytona Beach. This airport operates on basically a lot of the standards that Avelo operates on; it’s easy, convenient and it’s going to make getting in and out and getting to the beach or to the convention center or to whatever brings you to Daytona quick, easy and simple, and that’s how we operate.”
Avelo Airlines started in April 2021, flying one route from Burbank to Sonoma County on the West Coast, according to Goff. These days, more than 2 million passengers have since used Avelo on over 15,000 flights utilizing Boeing 737 aircraft, she said.
