\u201cWe built Breeze to connect communities that the other airlines overlook, and today’s announcement continues to drive that purpose forward,\u201d Breeze Airways founder and CEO David Neeleman says in a statement on the new routes. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a long weekend getaway or visiting family across the country, our guests now have more affordable, convenient options than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
Avelo Airlines serves 35 destinations spanning 14 states and two Puerto Rican locations: Aguadilla and San Juan. The carrier has four bases around the country, one of which is in Lakeland.<\/p>\n
“Avelo continues to listen to our community and respond with opportunities that matter,\u201d Lakeland International Airport Interim Director Adam Lunn says in a statement. \u201cFlights to San [Juan], Puerto Rico have consistently been some of the most popular flights on Avelo, and we are excited to expand our service to Aguadilla.\u201d<\/p>\n
