Two new discount airlines are taking off in the U.S. in time for the summer travel season.
First out of the gate is Avelo Airlines, a West Coast carrier that launched this week with a daily round-trip flight to Santa Rosa, in Sonoma County, from its home base in Burbank, California, at rock-bottom fares starting at $19 one way.
David Neeleman’s new low-cost carrier Breeze is set to take off in May. It’s resting its hopes on leisure travel fueled by pandemic fatigue – and college student flight attendants.
Construction is underway at the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport in preparation for Southwest Airlines’ return to Mississippi on Sunday, June 6.
