Beginning June 13, 2024, Avelo will operate this route twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays, utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Introductory one-way fares between STL and HVN start at $79*. Travelers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “St. Louis – say hello to Avelo! We’re excited to introduce St. Louis to Avelo’s low fares, travel-friendly convenience and industry-leading reliability. Getting to Southern Connecticut – the gateway to New England and New York – is now easier than ever. This exclusive nonstop service will also make exploring the Gateway to the West – and all that St. Louis has to offer – a fast and seamless journey for Connecticut visitors.”

STL Airport Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge said, “Avelo starting service to New Haven is simply one more step forward in giving our travelers as many nonstop destinations as possible. St. Louis Lambert International Airport is always seeking to expand the offerings available to travelers in our region.”

The New Haven Way to New England and New York

Tweed-New Haven Airport is located on Connecticut’s coast and is a convenient gateway to all 15 towns that make up Greater New Haven. HVN’s adjacency to multiple major highways and commuter railways makes visiting the New England and New York regions easier than ever. The airport is a refreshingly smooth and simple alternative hometown airport experience that will make visiting Southern Connecticut faster, easier and more relaxing than ever.

Best known as the home of Yale University, New Haven is the second largest city in Connecticut and is part of the New York metropolitan area. The coastal city has experienced—and continues to enjoy—a renaissance. Within an easy stroll from the New Haven Green are more than 100 distinctive restaurants, offering something for every palate, and the city abounds with theaters, museums, and shopping destinations to satisfy all interests and tastes. Last year, New Haven joined iconic cities like Auckland, London and Istanbul to make the prestigious New York Times 2023 “52 Places to Go” list. Whether visiting family and friends or just looking for a vacation, there is a wealth of things to explore in The Cultural Capital of Connecticut.
