Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “We are excited to launch our second route from Houston, continuing to usher in a new era of convenient, affordable and reliable travel. This service makes visiting Southern Connecticut and everything the greater New England and New York regions have to offer easier than ever.

The new Avelo Airlines nonstop route aligns with our mission to connect the people, businesses, cultures and economies of the world to Houston.

This new route opens doors for travelers from Connecticut to explore all that makes Houston a global destination, further strengthening Houston’s position as a gateway to the South-Central region of the U.S.”

Hartford – The Gateway to Northern Connecticut and New England

From its origins as a Connecticut River trading post in 1633, Hartford is the capital of Connecticut. It is known for its historical attractions, a thriving arts and entertainment center, a revitalized riverfront and beautiful parks and public gardens. It’s home to the Mark Twain House & Museum, where the lovable Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer were born in the imagination of celebrated author Mark Twain and immortalized on paper during the writer's Hartford years. Hartford is also an easy gateway to many other Connecticut and New England points of interest.
