• LAS will be Avelo's sixth base
• Very low, one-way fares start at $39*
• New base builds on Avelo's travel-inspiring momentum that has flown more than three million Customers on nearly 25,000 flights in the airline's first 29 months
• Avelo is America's most reliable airline - YTD Avelo is #1 in completion factor and #2 in on-time performance among U.S. airlines

Avelo Airlines opened its sixth U.S. base Las Vegas's Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) today. The travel-inspiring airline's second West Coast base is Avelo's latest investment in bringing affordable, convenient and reliable air service to unserved and underserved communities across the country.

Avelo Airlines Founder, Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, "As they say, What Happens in Vegas, Can Only Happen in Vegas, and that makes Las Vegas a winning bet for our sixth base. We are excited to start the exclusive nonstop access to Vegas that Avelo's new base will offer our Customers from these six communities, with more to come in the future. Vegas has something for everyone and Avelo's affordability, convenience and reliability will make getting to this popular destination easier than ever. The new flights, destinations and jobs our new base enables hits the jackpot for Las Vegas, Avelo and, most importantly, our Customers."

The new base is a homecoming of sorts for Levy, who was a cofounder and served as longtime president of Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air. During his 14 years with Allegiant, he helped build one of America's most successful airlines. At Avelo, Levy is joined by other former Allegiant leaders, including Chief Operating Officer Greg Baden who hosted today's opening ceremony at LAS.

Clark County Director of Aviation Rosemary Vassiliadis said, "The Las Vegas valley is a great place to visit but also to call home. We are so excited for Avelo Airlines to not only expand its service to Harry Reid International Airport providing even more travelers with a convenient and affordable way to get here, but to also add Las Vegas as a West Coast base creating jobs and opportunities in our community."

Avelo this week inaugurates three new routes and expands another, with two more routes beginning in mid-September and early-October. Special fares can be booked at AveloAir.com. Avelo will be the only airline flying nonstop between LAS and these six destinations:

The Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World's Most Reliable Airline

Avelo is initially basing one 147-seat Boeing Next-Generation (NG) 737-700 at LAS.

Avelo reported that since it began serving The Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World in October 2021, Avelo has achieved a nearly perfect, 99.34% completion factor - cancelling less than 1% of its LAS flights over the past 11 months. Avelo also ranks #1 for completion factor to date in 2023. Additionally, Avelo ranks #2 in the U.S in on-time performance, making travel as simple, convenient and reliable as possible.

Avelo plans to hire LAS-based Crewmembers, including pilots, flight attendants, aircraft maintenance technicians and supervisors.
