SARASOTA, Fla. — Avelo Airlines announced on Thursday a new way for flyers to get from Sarasota to the Philadelphia area in a one-way trip.
Travelers can soon take advantage of a third nonstop route from Sarasota Bradenton International Airport to Wilmington Airport in Delaware, which airline leaders call "a convenient and travel-friendly alternative to Philadelphia International Airport."
Starting Nov. 2, Avelo will have two flights weekly on this route going out on Thursdays and Sundays. Introductory one-way prices between the Sarasota-based airport and ILG start at just $49.
“SRQ – say hello to Philly!" Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said in a statement. "Getting to Philadelphia and the greater Delaware Valley is easier and more affordable than ever with Avelo’s exclusive nonstop service to Wilmington Airport – the region’s most travel-friendly airport.
"Combined with Avelo’s industry-leading reliability, there isn’t a more convenient, faster and more relaxing gateway to The City of Brotherly Love from Florida’s Gulf Coast.”
According to a news release, Avelo is the first airline to offer nonstop flights between metro Philadelphia and SRQ. This new stop will be joining the already-established routes from Connecticut's Tweed-New Haven Airport and Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
