Avelo Launches Nonstop Flight From Tampa To Wilmington, North Carolina

TAMPA, FL — Avelo Airlines took flight on its fourth nonstop route from Tampa to Wilmington, North Carolina. Avelo is the only airline offering nonstop flights between Tampa International Airport and Wilmington, continuing to usher in more affordable, convenient and reliable air service for the Tampa Bay region.

Last week, Avelo began twice-weekly nonstop service to North Carolina’s Wilmington International Airport, operating on Mondays and Fridays using the Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Low, one-way fares between TPA and ILM start at $49. Customers can make reservations at here.

“Tampa, it’s time to start a fourth nonstop route – Wilmington, N.C.," said Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at TPA. "This new route offers our Tampa Bay customers access to coastal North Carolina to explore the vibrant downtown riverwalk, Carolina beaches and more. Combined with Avelo’s industry-leading reliability, there isn’t a more convenient, faster and relaxing way to travel, just in time for summer getaways or visiting friends and relatives.”

“We’re delighted to see Avelo continue to expand at Tampa International Airport, this time with a unique travel opportunity for our guests — our first-ever nonstop route to the historic city of Wilmington, North Carolina," TPA Executive Vice President of Marketing and Communications Christopher Minner said. "Since launching its first flight from TPA in 2021, Avelo has been a wonderful partner and we’re happy to support its success.”

With the June 23 inaugural flight to southeastern North Carolina, Avelo now serves four nonstop destinations from TPA. Wilmington, joins Southern Connecticut’s most convenient airport — Tweed-New Haven Airport; Wilmington, Delaware; and Raleigh / Durham, North Carolina.
