Runway Extension At New Haven Airport Set To Boost Avelo Operations
Avelo Airlines, an ultra-low-cost carrier, is set to benefit from a 975-foot runway extension at Tweed-New Haven Airport, its largest base of operations. The extension, slated to begin in late 2026, will enable Avelo to operate its 737-800s with full capacity, addressing current performance restrictions. Additionally, a new terminal is planned, which will significantly upgrade the passenger experience. According to Simple Flying, the project is expected to create over 2,500 new jobs and have a substantial economic impact on the local area.
