US EditionBudget Airline Serving Smaller Airports to End Flights to West Coast Destinations by December
SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA, JUL 14 – Avelo Airlines will end Sonoma County flights and close its Burbank base by late 2025 due to poor financial performance and strategic focus shift, company officials said.
- On August 11, 2025, Avelo Airlines will stop operating at Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport, effective as part of its West Coast exit plan.
- Following plans to close its Burbank base, Avelo said this exit was necessary, with Madison Glassman, Avelo spokeswoman, explaining `the continuation service from BUR in the current operating environment will not deliver adequate financial returns`.
- Previously, Avelo maintained five flights from Sonoma after closing its base on May 1, offers refunds via Manage Trips at Avelo.com, and operates ICE deportation flights as its most profitable service.
- Monday morning, city officials and business leaders learned of the exit, while Jon Stout, Airport Manager, did not respond to contact attempts.
- On August 12, 2025, Avelo will reduce its Burbank operation to one aircraft, with full exit scheduled for December 2, while Courtney Goff, Avelo spokeswoman, outlined redeployment strategy.
