Avelo Airlines Expands Lexington Service with a Third Popular Florida Destination: Fort Myers
Introductory low one-way fares to Florida’s Gulf Coast start at $59
September 15, 2022 — Avelo Airlines announced today it is expanding service from Lexington, Kentucky with the addition of a third nonstop Florida route – Fort Myers. Avelo is the only airline offering the Bluegrass Region affordable, convenient and nonstop access into Fort Myers.
Introductory low one-way fares between Lexington’s Blue Grass Airport (LEX) and Fort Myers’ Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) starting at $59* are available at AveloAir.com.
Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO said, “Lexington – we’re at it again! The addition of Fort Myers to our LEX schedule makes visiting Florida even more affordable and convenient. Bluegrass residents can now choose from three sun-soaked nonstop destinations — Orlando, Tampa and Florida’s majestic Southwest Gulf Coast. Say hello to quick, easy and cost-friendly hometown airport access to The Sunshine State when you travel with Avelo.”
Avelo is the only airline offering nonstop service from the Bluegrass Region to the most convenient airports in three of Florida’s most popular destinations.
With today’s addition of Fort Myers, Avelo now serves three popular Florida destinations nonstop from LEX. In July, Avelo announced its arrival at LEX with exclusive nonstop service to Orlando International Airport (MCO) beginning October 19 and Tampa International Airport (TPA) beginning on November 12.
Blue Grass Airport President and CEO Eric Frankl said, “Many in our community visit southwest Florida on a routine basis, so having an airline like Avelo with a large, comfortable aircraft and low fares that provides nonstop service to Fort Myers is awesome! We are very excited about this announcement and would like to thank Avelo Airlines for continuing to add flights for travelers from Lexington and the central Kentucky region.”
Avelo will operate Boeing Next-Generation 737s on all its LEX routes. Avelo’s seasonal service to RSW will operate twice weekly beginning November 18.
