Avelo Airlines is expanding its presence at Nashville International Airport (BNA) by launching three new nonstop routes to Rochester, New York, Wilmington, North Carolina, and Charlotte, North Carolina. The new additions aim to provide more travel options for passengers flying out of Music City, with nonstop flights to some of the most sought-after destinations on the East Coast.

Avelo’s expansion into these cities is expected to enhance the travel experience for passengers looking to explore the Queen City (Charlotte), coastal North Carolina (Wilmington), and the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York (Rochester). Avelo’s CEO, Andrew Levy, expressed excitement over the new routes, highlighting the convenience and affordability they offer. “Traveling to Coastal North Carolina, the Queen City, and Upstate New York has never been easier,” said Levy. “Additionally, as Middle Tennessee continues to grow and flourish, we’re excited to be part of its journey, connecting even more people and opportunities to this region.”

The nonstop flight service to Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC) will begin with twice-weekly flights on Thursdays and Sundays starting in April. By May, the flights will increase to Monday and Friday as well, providing more flexible options for passengers heading to Rochester. The Wilmington International Airport (ILM) service will operate on Thursdays and Sundays, while the new route to Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (USA) in Charlotte will operate on Mondays and Fridays.

Avelo Airlines, known for its budget-friendly and reliable service, already operates nonstop flights from Nashville to several destinations, including Philadelphia, Orlando, and New Haven.

These additional routes are part of Avelo’s ongoing effort to enhance connectivity between Nashville and other major cities across the U.S. With Nashville’s rapid growth and increasing demand for both leisure and business travel, these new routes are a timely addition.

Currently, Avelo serves 55 cities across 23 states, including Puerto Rico, and four international destinations, including the Bahamas, Jamaica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. The airline’s commitment to affordable air travel has made it a popular choice for travelers looking for convenience without breaking the bank.

The growth of Avelo Airlines at Nashville International Airport signals the city’s expanding role as a key hub for both leisure and business travelers. The introduction of these new routes not only provides more options for residents of Middle Tennessee but also makes it easier for visitors from Rochester, Wilmington, and Charlotte to explore Nashville, known for its vibrant music scene and Southern hospitality.

As Nashville continues to develop into a dynamic metropolitan region, Avelo’s strategic expansion is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for air travel.
