One of America’s newest airlines, Avelo Airlines, is making a big bet on California’s wine country with the announcement of four new routes planned for this spring. This move will double the ultra-low-cost carrier’s presence at Santa Rosa’s Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS) and solidify its commitment to the region.
Avelo Airlines, based in Houston, has been making waves in the aviation industry since its launch in April 2021. The airline prides itself on offering affordable fares and convenient travel options to underserved markets. With its focus on secondary airports and nonstop routes, Avelo has quickly gained a loyal following of budget-conscious travelers.
The decision to double down on Santa Rosa comes as Avelo prepares to shift its crew base from Las Vegas to Sonoma County on May 1. This move will not only bring more jobs to the region but also signal Avelo’s long-term commitment to serving the Northern California market.
The new routes announced by Avelo include service to Boise, Kalispell in Montana, Salem in Oregon, and Pasco in Washington. These destinations will offer travelers from Sonoma County access to a diverse range of landscapes and attractions, from the mountains of Montana to the vineyards of Oregon’s Willamette Valley.
Boise, the busiest airport of the four destinations, offers connections to over 20 cities across the country. Avelo’s service to Boise will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays, providing convenient options for both leisure and business travelers.
Kalispell, Montana, home to Glacier National Park, is a popular outdoor destination known for its stunning scenery and outdoor activities. Avelo’s service to Kalispell will launch on May 1 with flights on Wednesdays and Saturdays, making it easier for travelers to explore this natural wonder.
Salem, Oregon, located between Portland and Eugene, is a charming city with a rich history and vibrant culture. Avelo’s new service to Salem will operate on Mondays and Fridays, offering residents of Sonoma County a convenient way to explore the Pacific Northwest.
Pasco, Washington, located in the Tri-Cities region, is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts and wine lovers. Avelo’s service to Pasco will begin on May 1 with flights on Wednesdays and Saturdays, providing travelers with easy access to the region’s attractions.
Overall, Avelo’s expansion in Santa Rosa is a testament to the airline’s commitment to serving underserved markets and providing affordable travel options to travelers. With the addition of these new routes, Avelo is poised to become a key player in the Northern California market and beyond.
As Avelo continues to grow and expand its route network, travelers can expect more options for affordable, convenient travel to a variety of destinations. Whether you’re looking to explore the mountains of Montana, the vineyards of Oregon, or the outdoor adventures of Washington, Avelo Airlines has you covered.
