Avelo Airlines to launch 28 April

Start-up Avelo Airlines is set to launch its flights on 28 April out if its base at Burbank (CA). Initially, the airline will offer flights to eleven destinations, all in the Western-part of the US.

The airline will start with a fleet of three B737-800s, the first of which, N802XT (34405) arrived at Burbank on 8 April. Avelo Airlines isn't a real new airline as it's the new name of Xtra Airways, which was acquired by former Allegiant-founder and United Airlines CEO Andrew Levey. The new company wants to target unserved airports, first on the West-Coast but later, when succesful, also in other parts of the US.
