A new airline is coming to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, launching low-cost nonstop service this fall.

Avelo Airlines will be the newest addition to the 14 airlines currently based at New Orleans airport, MSY spokeswoman Erin Burns confirmed Tuesday. The airline will offer travelers nonstop service from New Orleans to New Haven, Connecticut.

The new route will launch on November 14, 2024 and will operate twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays. Fares start at $79. Flight reservations can be made on Avelo’s website.

New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker told Avelo Airlines that MSY Airport is “an extremely important new destination” that will create a stronger connection between New Orleans and New Haven.

“Avelo’s nonstop service will strengthen the existing connections between our cities and help foster new collaborations in the fields of art, science and innovation,” Elicker said in the press release.

Kevin Dolliole, MSY airport aviation director, said in the press release that the affordable and convenient options Avelo offers go hand in hand with the New Orleans airport’s mission to provide passengers with successful travel experiences.

“This route opens up exciting opportunities for our travelers, whether they are visiting family, exploring new destinations or traveling for business,” Dolliole said in the press release.

Avelo touts itself as “America’s Most Convenient Airline,” offering affordable air travel while serving over 50 destinations from various locations across the United States. The airline launched in 2021.
