We believe Avelo’s combination of everyday low fares, industry-leading reliability and friendly service, coupled with DAY’s time-saving convenience will inspire people from across the region to enjoy all Orlando has to offer.”
Dayton International Airport offers a refreshingly fast, smooth and welcoming hometown airport experience. DAY’s adjacency to multiple major highways makes it Western Ohio’s most convenient and travel-friendly airport.
City of Dayton Director of Aviation Gil Turner said, “We’re very excited to offer the Dayton Community another affordable option for their travel needs with Avelo Airlines. Avelo’s focus on offering a caring travel experience certainly aligns with Dayton’s reputation for being ‘easy to and through’.”
City of Dayton Mayor Jeffrey J. Mims said, “On behalf of myself and the City of Dayton, we welcome this new air service provider to Dayton International Airport. The growth we’re seeing in and around Dayton International is exciting. It’s great not only for the Airport, but the surrounding communities, as well.”
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said, “We welcome Avelo Airlines’ decision to choose the Dayton International Airport for its first route in Ohio, bringing a new air carrier to our state. Air service is critical for continued economic growth, and Avelo’s new, round-trip service to the Orlando International Airport will bolster the positive economic momentum we’re experiencing in the Dayton region.”
President and CEO of the Dayton Development Coalition Jeff Hoagland said, “In our global economy, businesses need to easily connect with colleagues across the country and the world. Avelo’s inaugural Ohio route between Dayton and Orlando gives our region another option for easy air travel, whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure. We’re grateful to Avelo for seeing an opportunity here and to the City of Dayton and JobsOhio for supporting the new route. JobsOhio’s Commercial Air Service Restoration Program works with communities to build new air travel routes to support economic development, and their partnership with Avelo represents a promising way for Dayton to grow our air service.”
JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef said, “The JobsOhio Air Service Restoration Program was designed to bring more routes and seats to Ohio’s commercial airports. Dayton International Airport serves an important market and draws from three Ohio metropolitan population areas. With strategic growth occurring in the region, we are hopeful the success of these routes will be the beginning of more air service at Dayton International.”
President and CEO Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce Chris Kershner said, “We’re excited to not only bring Avelo Airlines to Dayton, but to be the first airport in Ohio to welcome Avelo air service. Dayton’s growing business community combined with an airport that caters to corporate travelers gives DAY a strong value proposition for expanded air service.”
