Avelo Airlines Cuts 29% Of Flights: Why Is The Budget Carrier Shrinking So Fast?
Avelo Airlines announced a 29% cut to its Q2 2026 schedule, removing over 3,000 flights compared with a year earlier. The reduction stems from closing two East Coast bases, ending West Coast operations, and accelerating the retirement of its Boeing 737‑700 fleet. The carrier will concentrate on four remaining bases while launching a new hub at Dallas‑McKinney Airport later in 2026. Avelo also highlighted an order for up to 100 Embraer 195‑E2 jets to support future growth.
