Today, we will look at Houston, Texas-headquartered Avelo Airlines routes in June 2024 that exceed more than 1,100 miles and see what competition Avelo Airlines has from other airlines on those routes. Unlike larger airlines in the United States, Avelo Airlines focuses on point-to-point flights to underserved destinations.

About Avelo Airlines

Avelo Airlines began life as Casino Express Airlines on July 20, 1987, flying passengers on a Boeing 737-200 exclusively for the Red Lion Hotel and Casino in Elko, Nevada. After branching out to fly sports teams and fans wishing to attend away games, the airline changed its name to Xtra Airways on December 8, 2005.

In August 2018, former United Continental Holdings and later Allegiant Air chief operations officer Andrew Levy bought Xtra Airways to transform it from a charter airline to a low-cost carrier. In February 2020, the airline raised $125 million and received its first new aircraft from GE Capital Aviation Services.

Now called "Avelo Airlines," the new airline began operating flights from

Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) in California. A few months later, the airline announced that it would open a second base at Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport (HVN) in Connecticut. Avelo Airlines has since expanded its operations, opening bases at the following airports:

• Orlando International Airport (MCO)
• Wilmington Airport (ILG)
• Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU)
• Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS)
