Avelo Airlines—known for their ultra-low service airfares—has announced a series of route cuts that are set to affect several destinations in their network. Its recent announcement of reducing the frequency of flights has sent tremors through the travel industry and caused a stir among city officials and travelers alike who relished the convenience offered by the airline. This is particularly of concern for those reliant on affordable travel options provided by the budget airline, as it may signal that their favorite cheap flights are disappearing. The cities set to bear the brunt of Avelo Airlines route cuts range from big and bustling metro areas to the quieter, small-towns. Although the company has not furnished an explanation for these changes within their route architecture, they have reported that the cuts will be effective in the very near future. Aviation enthusiasts and city officials eagerly await further communication from Avelo Airlines as they adjust their plans. The impact of these route cuts can potentially be massive—not only on the travel plans of many individuals, but also on the economy of the cities losing the vital air link.
