Today marks the one-year anniversary of Avelo Airlines operating flights between the conveniently located Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport (STS) and Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) in Central Oregon. In celebration, Avelo is offering enticing one-way fares starting at just $69 to Central Oregon.
Since initiating this route in June 2023, Avelo has successfully transported over 15,000 customers between Sonoma County and Redmond/Bend. Furthermore, Avelo has established itself as the most dependable airline at STS, boasting a 100% completion rate by not cancelling any flights on this route.
Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “We are very excited to celebrate the first anniversary of our first flight between the Bay Area and Bend/Redmond. The growing demand on this route is a testament to the affordability, convenience, and reliability we have introduced to travelers in the Bay Area and Sonoma County. We are equally excited about how much easier we have made it for thousands of Central Oregonians to visit Northern California Wine Country.”
In addition to servicing Bend/Redmond, Avelo Airlines also operates nonstop flights to Los Angeles (via Hollywood Burbank Airport – BUR), Las Vegas (LAS), Palm Springs (PSP), Boise, ID (BOI), Kalispell, MT (FCA), and Portland, OR (through Salem Municipal Airport – SLE).
Exploring Majestic Central Oregon
Bend and Redmond, nestled in Central Oregon, are vibrant communities set against the scenic backdrop of the Cascade Range. These cities offer a unique blend of natural beauty, outdoor activities, and a rich cultural scene, providing an unrivaled experience for both residents and visitors.
America’s Most Convenient Airline
Founded on April 28, 2021, Avelo’s mission is to inspire travel by offering time and cost savings. To date, Avelo has carried over 4.6 million customers across more than 36,000 flights. Currently, Avelo connects 53 destinations across 23 states and Puerto Rico.
Avelo is revolutionizing air travel by servicing primarily underserved routes and communities, ensuring each route includes at least one smaller, more convenient airport. This strategy enhances the travel experience by avoiding the typical airport hassles of larger facilities.
Avelo stands out for its industry-leading reliability. In 2023, it boasted the lowest flight cancellation rate in the U.S. at 0.2% and was ranked second for on-time performance, with 82.8% of flights arriving within 15 minutes of their scheduled time, according to the Department of Transportation’s A14 standard. As of May, Avelo ranked first in on-time performance and maintained the lowest cancellation rate for two consecutive months. For the first five months of 2024, it has continued to lead in on-time arrivals and held the second-lowest cancellation rate in the U.S., according to data from Anuvu.
Avelo ensures flexibility for its customers, allowing them to change or cancel flights without extra fees. Families benefit from automatic seating arrangements that place every child aged 13 and under next to an accompanying adult at no additional cost.
Moreover, Avelo offers advance seat assignments for purchase, with a third of its seats providing extra legroom, ranging from 32 to over 36 inches. Customers can also enjoy flexible travel options, including priority boarding, checked and overhead carry-on baggage, and pet travel accommodations.
