Avelo adds more flights to Las Vegas – six flights per week

MCKINNEY, Texas, Oct. 15, 2026/PRNewswire/ — Avelo Airlines today announced two new Florida destinations from McKinney National Airport (DTX), growing the airline’s Collin County hometown network to 11 destinations. Beginning Dec. 16, Avelo will fly from DTX to Sarasota/Bradenton (SRQ), followed on Dec. 17 by West Palm Beach (DJT).

To meet strong demand for Las Vegas travel, Avelo is also adding two weekly flights between DTX and Las Vegas (LAS) for the peak holiday travel season, bringing the route to six flights per week. The new Wednesday and Saturday flights join previously announced service on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

The new routes join Avelo’s inaugural DTX service, which begins on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11, with nonstop flights to Las Vegas and four Florida cities: Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Fort Myers (RSW), Orlando (MCO) and Tampa (TPA). In mid-December, Avelo will also begin flights from DTX to Denver (DEN), Atlanta (ATL), New Orleans (MSY) and Nashville, Tennessee (BNA).

Introductory one-way fares start at $69*. Travelers can make reservations at AveloAir.com. Flight start dates and weekly frequency information are in the chart below.

Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “North Texas continues to show up for Avelo. With two new Florida destinations in West Palm Beach and Sarasota-Bradenton, we’ll now serve 11 nonstop routes from DTX. We’re also growing our Las Vegas service to six weekly flights to meet strong demand. Our low fares, the size and convenience of DTX, and our consistent industry-leading on-time performance are a winning combination for travelers. We’re excited to keep growing in Collin County, one of the fastest-growing areas in America. Once you fly with us, you’ll understand what we mean — if you know, you Avelo.”

Investing in Collin County

Avelo will open its McKinney base on Nov. 11. Three Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft will be based at DTX, and Avelo’s investment at the airport will create about 150 jobs, including pilots, flight attendants, aircraft technicians and airport personnel.
