Andrew Levy, CEO of Avelo thinks , "With demand for air travel growing quickly as the U.S. reopens from the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s the perfect time to launch a new airline."
“We stand in a great place to get started here and especially being up and running for the summer peak season, which should be good.”
Levy wanted to launch Avelo a year ago, but the pandemic quickly put an end to those plans. So Levy and his team spent the last year making sure Avelo would be ready when air travel showed signs of coming back.
Avelo’s is hunting for competition less markets where it can offer low-fares to travelers in markets or near airports .They have choosen some places like Grand Junction, Colorado; Eugene, Oregon; and Ogden, Utah.
These are markets or regions where travelers typically have to route trips through hubs like Denver or Salt Lake City.
Levy sees massive potential in small airport,
“It takes a long time to get there, you have long lines and there are a lot of headaches and hassles,” he said. “Small airports, quite honestly, are just simply a better experience and I think all customers would agree with that.”
Levy’s does not want hiccups for now, Avelo takes off with a fleet of three Boeing 737s and plans to add three more this summer.
Levy is happy for the fact that he bought two of the aircrafts at a heavily discounted price, due to the pandemic offload.
“The two we purchased were probably about a third lower (in price) than they would have been ahead of Covid, so that represented, between the two planes, in the range of a $15 million discount,” said Levy.
