Beleaguered Avelo Airlines will close its West Coast operation and exit 10 cities by December as it struggles financially.

While Avelo will no longer serve the western US, the airline will continue to serve what Goff called an east coast network of over 40 cities both domestic and international that will extend from Manchester, New Hampshire in the northeast to the Dominican Republic and Cancun to the south and as far west as Dallas and Chicago.

“Our West Coast closure has no effect on our Connecticut service or operations,” said Courtney Goff, Communications Manager for Avelo Airlines. “We are in the planning phases of relocating the three planes to the East Coast, so only positive outcomes for our East Coast airports.”
