Call Centre Outstaffing For Avelo Airlines
The Avelo story begins with a simple purpose — to Inspire Travel. On April 28, 2021, Avelo Airlines took flight for the first time — ushering in a new era of convenient, affordable and reliable air travel. They help you fly for less so you can fly more. That means more opportunities for you to connect with family and friends while exploring new places and revisiting old favorites. But they don’t just save you money. We fly out of smaller, more convenient airports, so we also save you time and hassle. Today, Avelo serves over 40 destinations from our bases at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR), Southern Connecticut’s Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) and others.
