Exciting Growth for Avelo Airlines at Lakeland International Airport
In a move that will delight Central Florida travelers, Avelo Airlines is expanding its presence at Lakeland International Airport (LAL) by introducing two new nonstop routes starting June 12, 2025. The new routes will connect Lakeland directly to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Long Island, New York, enhancing travel options for residents and visitors alike.
New Travel Opportunities from Lakeland
Avelo will commence service to Grand Rapids (GRR) on June 13, operating twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, while flights to Long Island (ISP) will begin just a day earlier, on Thursdays and Sundays. These new routes bring the total number of nonstop destinations served from LAL to nine, which includes currently offered flights to cities like Boston, Nashville, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The Convenience of Lakeland International Airport
Situated ideally between Tampa and Orlando, Lakeland International Airport provides a small, accessible airport experience, making air travel smoother and more pleasant than larger hubs. CEO and Founder of Avelo Airlines, Andrew Levy, emphasized the benefits of the smaller airport, stating, "Avelo’s service at Lakeland offers Floridians easy access to air travel, especially for customers who value the convenience of a small airport.” With low one-way fares starting as low as $52, both new routes promise to be appealing for travelers looking to enjoy more freedom and less hassle.
Avelo Airlines: A Growing Presence
Avelo Airlines has been steadily increasing its network since it began operations just a few years ago. With these latest additions, the airline serves a total of 56 cities across 23 states and various international destinations. This expansion at Lakeland is part of Avelo’s broader strategy to connect underserved regions, providing a vital link for local communities to the wider world.
Impact on Local Community and Economy
The response to Avelo's expansion has been overwhelmingly positive. Local officials note that the new routes will open up opportunities for business, tourism, and family connections, enhancing Lakeland's status as a travel hub in the region. Lakeland City Manager Shawn Sherrouse stated, "These new routes not only enhance connectivity for our residents but also bring new opportunities for tourism and business." This growth is expected to not only provide more travel choices for Floridians but also bolster the local economy.
Your Gateway to Affordable Travel
With Avelo Airlines’ commitment to providing affordable fares and its newly expanded service from Lakeland International Airport, travelers can embrace adventure with ease. Whether flying to explore new cities, visiting loved ones, or setting off on vacation, Lakeland’s convenient access to these destinations opens new doors.
