Avelo Airlines has announced two new Chicago routes, new flights connecting Detroit and Central Florida, and the return of three popular routes to Atlanta and Nashville. Avelo will be the only airline offering nonstop flights on these five routes.

We’re adding new Chicago routes, spring training flights between Detroit and Lakeland, and the return of popular Atlanta and Nashville routes as we add planes to our bases and expand our offerings.
