It’s a bird … it’s a plane … it’s two new airlines.
Two new low-cost transportation companies will soar the U.S. air, with drivers eager to meet pent-up demand as the country reopens and more Americans are vaccinated against COVID-19.
Avelo Airlines said Thursday, April 8, 2021, that it will begin flying to 11 destinations from Burbank, California later this month, and plans to launch plans to add other routes as it adds more aircraft to its fleet, which counts only three aircraft.

“There are too few seats in the United States offered by low-cost servers. That’s why we think the opportunity is great,” said Andrew Levy, chairman and CEO of Avelo. “Customers want a very inexpensive way to get from point A to point B.”
No stranger to starting an airline, Levy previously served as co-founder and president of Allegiant Airlines and is also the former chief financial officer of United Airlines, according to the outlet.
