Avelo is the eighth U.S. airline to operate flights to Jamaica, complementing the service provided by American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Southwest, JetBlue, and Spirit Airlines.

“Montego Bay: Say hello to Avelo! Our inaugural international service to Montego Bay is a significant milestone for Avelo. With a large Jamaican community residing in Connecticut, we look forward to facilitating their connections with family and friends. As the only airline offering direct service to Jamaica from Connecticut, we are excited to make Montego Bay’s famous beaches, vibrant energy, and laid-back charm easier than ever for Connecticut travelers to enjoy,” said Andrew Levy, founder and CEO of Avelo Airlines.
