Avelo Airlines has officially launched its third international nonstop route from Bradley International Airport (BDL) to the Caribbean today with service to Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) in the Dominican Republic. The inaugural flight departed this morning and will operate year-round, twice a week – on Mondays and Fridays.

“We congratulate Avelo Airlines for expanding its international network from Bradley International Airport,” said Michael W. Shea, Executive Director of the Connecticut Airport Authority. “The new nonstop route to the Dominican Republic will now provide travelers with a faster and more convenient journey to the popular Caribbean island.”

In addition to Punta Cana, Avelo Airlines also flies internationally from BDL to Cancun, Mexico (CUN) and Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ).

“Today, Avelo achieved another milestone as Connecticut’s Hometown Airline. The debut of our exclusive nonstop service between Hartford and the Dominican Republic represents Avelo’s third international route,” said Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy. “We are excited to introduce an additional tropical Caribbean destination for Connecticut travelers. At the same time, we are excited to make it easier and more affordable for family and friends residing on both ends of this route to visit each other. Today is the latest example of how we are continuing to fulfill Avelo’s purpose to inspire travel – one destination, one flight, and one Customer at a time.”

To celebrate the new service to Punta Cana, passengers on the inaugural flight were treated to a celebratory send-off prior to their departure.
