Avelo Airlines took flight last night with exclusive nonstop service to Florida's Key West International Airport (EYW) from Southern Connecticut's Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN). Avelo is the only airline offering nonstop service between HVN and Key West.

To celebrate this new route, Avelo swapped New Haven's famous apizza with Key West's Key Lime Pie. Customers on the flight to Key West were provided with Key Lime tarts from G Cafe Bakery, ceremonial postcards and fanfare as they arrived in Key West. A ribbon cutting and celebratory swag bags were also provided to everyone onboard.

Avelo operates this route twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays using Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Travelers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.
