US EditionLow-Cost Airline Shutting Down Entire West Coast Operations
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 14 – Avelo is shifting focus to East Coast markets after failing to achieve expected financial results on the West Coast, with all flights ending by early December 2025.
- Avelo Airlines announced it will end all West Coast flights, reduce its Burbank hub to one aircraft by August 12, 2025, and close the base by December 2, 2025.
- The airline decided to focus on East Coast operations due to a highly competitive environment and insufficient financial returns at Hollywood Burbank Airport.
- Avelo began flights from Burbank in 2021, expanded to 13 routes, and faced backlash for charter deportation flights amid protests and boycott calls.
- CEO Andrew Levy explained that maintaining flights from Hollywood Burbank Airport under the present market conditions would not generate sufficient profits due to intense competition.
- The shutdown will affect several West Coast cities, crew members may transfer to East Coast bases, and passengers with booked flights can request refunds.
