Explore the Palm Beaches
The Palm Beaches is home to legendary beaches, shopping and entertainment. The area’s iconic restaurants, glitzy nightlife and unapologetically luxurious resorts attract sunseekers from across the globe. Lined with stately palm trees, this South Florida paradise is a vacationer’s nirvana. With miles of world-famous white sand beaches and turquoise water, there is a spot on this majestic Atlantic coastline for every mood and interest.
“We are excited to welcome Avelo Airlines to PBI with nonstop service from New Haven, CT,” said Laura Beebe, director of airports for Palm Beach County. “Offering our passengers an easy, convenient, stress-free experience is our goal and this will only build on that reputation. The northeast is a very important market and additional nonstop service is key to its continued growth and popularity for our travelers.”
“Avelo Airlines is a meaningful addition to The Palm Beaches that will provide additional capacity for our visitors from the northeast, our most important tourism market,” stated Jorge Pesquera, president and CEO of Discover The Palm Beaches. “This nonstop flight into Palm Beach International Airport will provide an excellent option and an enhanced experience for our friends in the greater Connecticut area to travel to Florida’s premier destination with ease and comfort.”
The New Way to Connecticut
Best known as the home of Yale University, New Haven is the second largest city in Connecticut and is part of the New York metropolitan area. The coastal city has experienced—and continues to enjoy—a renaissance. Within an easy stroll from the New Haven Green are more than 100 distinctive restaurants, offering something for every palate, and the city abounds with theaters, museums, and shopping destinations to satisfy all interests and tastes.
New Haven has a rich cultural heritage, from museums and theatres to music festivals and entertainment throughout the year, including the New Haven Jazz Festival, the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and the Wooster Square Cherry Blossom Festival that regularly bring thousands of visitors to the city.
Tweed-New Haven Airport Authority Executive Director Sean Scanlon said, “Everyone in southern Connecticut is talking about Avelo and in their first month of operation we’re seeing passenger numbers that we have not seen in decades at our airport. The addition of nonstop service to Palm Beach will continue the incredible forward momentum we have here at Tweed-New Haven and we’re so excited for our passengers to have yet another great option to get to where they want to go in Florida.”
Amidst the crowds, long lines, lengthy walks, and traffic congestion encountered at other airports frequented by travelers to and from the region, HVN offers a refreshingly smooth and simple alternative hometown airport experience. HVN’s adjacency to multiple major highways and commuter railways make it Connecticut’s most convenient and easily accessible airport.
Avelo is the first airline to offer nonstop flights between HVN and Florida. Avelo’s arrival to HVN also marks the largest expansion of service at HVN in more than 30 years.
