Avelo Airlines competition is growing just weeks ahead of its first flight.
Alaska Airlines just announced a new California route between Santa Rosa and Burbank, Avelo s flagship route.
American Airlines will fly larger planes between Burbank and Phoenix, another Avelo route.
America s newest airline was already facing an uphill battle by launching during a pandemic, but now it has some of the country s largest airlines trying to extinguish its flame before the first flight has even departed.
Avelo Airlines is launching on April 28 with a whopping 11 initiation routes from Burbank, California near Los Angeles, and an ultra-low-cost business model where passengers pay as little as $19 for a ticket. The highly-anticipated debut comes with CEO Andrew Levy at the helm, a cofounder of Allegiant Air and former chief financial officer of United Airlines.
