| March 13, 2022 1:00 AM

SPOKANE — Avelo Airlines today announced it will begin serving Spokane with nonstop service to Hollywood Burbank. The new service will offer Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho residents a more convenient and affordable alternative for visiting Southern California.

Introductory one-way fares between Spokane International Airport (GEG) and L.A.’s best airport — Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) — starting at $69 are available at AveloAir.com.

Avelo Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Spokane — say hello to Avelo. Getting to Southern California from Spokane and the Northern Idaho area is now easier and more affordable than ever and Hollywood Burbank Airport is LA’s most convenient gateway. Whether you are coming to soak in some Southern California sun or enjoy the region’s world-famous restaurants, shopping, sports and entertainment, Avelo will save you time and money so you can enjoy even more of what LA has to offer.”

Avelo will operate Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 aircraft on the route beginning May 25. The new route will operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with a special inaugural flight on Wednesday, May 25.

“We are excited to welcome Avelo Airlines to Spokane International Airport,” said Spokane Airport Board Chair Collins Sprague. “This new service provides a convenient nonstop option for both our region’s business travelers connecting with clients in Southern California and leisure travelers looking to visit family or enjoy the many tourist attractions and activities that the Los Angeles area has to offer.”

“The Los Angeles Basin continues to be an important market for us,” added Larry Krauter, CEO, Spokane International Airport. “The addition of Burbank to the Airport’s nonstop offerings helps to fulfill high passenger demand between the Spokane/Coeur d’Alene Region and Southern California, just in time for the summer travel season. It also allows an affordable opportunity for residents in the Los Angeles area to visit and explore our region.”

L.A.’s best airport

Situated in the heart of Southern California, BUR is surrounded by L.A.’s iconic beaches, dining, entertainment, shopping and sun-soaked outdoor recreation.

Hollywood Burbank Airport Executive Director Frank Miller said, “Service to the Pacific Northwest has always been popular with our passengers. Expanding to the Inland Northwest with service to Spokane opens up wonderful opportunities to enjoy the convenience of flying to and from BUR.”

Whether Customers are departing or arriving, BUR offers a refreshingly convenient and hassle-free experience. Named the 2019 “Best U.S. Airport” by Fodor’s Travel, BUR features include seamless curbside pickup and drop-off, smaller crowds, unrivaled speed for plane-to-carousel bag delivery, faster TSA security lines, and short walking distances between the terminal and ground transportation, parking, and rental cars (instead of the time-consuming shuttles and trains necessary at larger airports). All of this makes BUR the ultra-convenient, stress-free gateway to L.A.

A different, better and more affordable travel experience

There is no charge for Customers who choose to make reservations by phone. Additionally, Avelo offers several unbundled travel-enhancing options that give Customers the flexibility to pay for what they value, including priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on overhead bags, and for bringing a pet in the cabin.

Avelo operates single-class, fuel-efficient 189-seat 737-800 Boeing jets to BUR, offering Customers a more spacious and comfortable experience than the regional aircraft historically serving this airport. Customers may choose from several seating options, including seats with extra leg room, as well as pre-reserved window and aisle seating.

Avelo became America’s first new scheduled airline in nearly 15 years when it initiated service on April 28, 2021, from its first base at BUR. The airline — which offers a convenient, affordable, and caring experience — currently serves 18 popular destinations across the U.S.

Avelo is distinguished by its Soul of Service culture. The culture is grounded in a “One Crew” mindset that promotes teamwork, understanding and kindness. By caring for one another and owning their commitments, Avelo Crewmembers provide a smooth, enjoyable, reliable, and caring experience for its Customers.
