Avelo Airlines announced it will begin nonstop service Tweed-New Haven Airport and Puerto Rico’s San Juan Luis Muñoz MarÃn International Airport.
The new service launched Nov. 15 and will operate twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. San Juan is Avelo’s first destination outside the continental United States.
“A lot of people have been eagerly awaiting this news,” said Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy. “With a large and increasing number of Puerto Ricans calling Connecticut home, this service will make reconnecting with friends and family easier and more affordable than ever. And with winter right around the corner, this Caribbean island treasure is the latest example of how Avelo is inspiring travel in new and exciting ways for Southern Connecticut.”
Avelo is the second carrier this year to launch service between Connecticut and Puerto Rico. Last month, Spirit Airlines began service from Bradley International Airport to Luis Muñoz MarÃn International Airport.
