WILMINGTON, Del. – Avelo Airlines has announced a new wave of direct routes from Wilmington Airport (ILG), adding six additional destinations in a strategic expansion aimed at enhancing East Coast connectivity.

With introductory one-way fares starting at $41, Avelo’s expansion offers local travelers a competitive alternative to larger regional airports.
As part of this growth, Avelo introduced routes to Atlanta and returned seasonal services to three popular Florida destinations—Daytona Beach, Palm Beach, and Sarasota-Bradenton—catering to increased demand from the Wilmington area. These destinations, accessible via twice-weekly flights on Boeing Next-Generation 737s, bring the total routes offered by Avelo at ILG to thirteen, covering both leisure and business hubs such as Charlotte-Concord, Myrtle Beach, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
