PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Aug. 4, 2022 — Avelo Airlines announced it will begin serving Palm Springs, CA this fall with seasonal nonstop service to three popular destinations in Northern CA and Oregon. Beginning November 11, Avelo will be the only airline serving Palm Springs to fly direct to Santa Rosa/Sonoma, CA, as well as Bend and Eugene, OR. Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) becomes the 30th destination on Avelo’s U.S. route map. One-way introductory fares starting at $29* are available at AveloAir.com.
Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Palm Springs – say hello to Avelo! We are excited to add Palm Springs to Avelo’s nationwide network of 30 destinations. Traveling between PSP and these three popular Northern CA and Oregon destinations now easier and more affordable than ever. We look forward to bringing more choice and convenience to Palm Springs travelers just in time for the holiday vacation season.”
Harry Barrett, Executive Director of Aviation said, “We’re thrilled to welcome another new airline to Palm Springs. The level of growth our airport has experienced over the past year has been impressive, and we’re excited to see Avelo Airlines come to PSP. Our airport is an economic engine for the region, and the growth in air access has increased tourism and made it easier for locals to choose to fly PSP instead of driving to LA.”
